Swindon Carers Centre (Registered number: 03305621)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and activities
The charitable purposes of the Charity are to relieve the needs of adult, parent and young carers, who are, or were, carrying out a caring role and to support and promote self-help by such means as the Trustees in their discretion think fit.
Our vision of "Creating a community where carers are recognised, valued and supported" and our mission "To improve the wellbeing of people with caring responsibilities in and around Swindon" continue to guide our work and charitable purposes.
We review our aims, objectives, vision, mission, and service provision annually. We are now in the third year of our 5-year local authority contract and are working towards Strategic Plan for 2018 - 2021. The Plan has been produced following individual staff interviews, staff/trustee workshops and away day planning and surveys of key stakeholders including carers and volunteers. The resulting overarching strategic aims are to ensure Swindon Carers Centre is:
-
An agent for carer involvement, irrespective of their individual circumstances and impact of their caring role, so carers can be involved in influencing service development at all levels
-
An effective, well-governed and sustainable organisation
-
A high-quality experience for anybody who comes into contact with us, ensuring we offer a diverse range of personalised information, advice, and support
-
Known, recognised and approachable by those who live and work in the borough of Swindon
-
An inclusive organisation
-
Embracing of digital technology to improve resources for carers, value for money and fundraising
Priorities for the financial year included:
-
To continue to respond to the Covid crisis and adapt our service delivery accordingly
-
To improve the "carer voice" we will increase carer involvement opportunities
-
To improve our organisational delivery at all levels, including volunteering, we will further develop our internal working practices and areas of work
-
To ensure we have a well governed organisation we will strengthen our Trustee Board and governance structures and ensure well-organised succession planning
-
To secure our on-going financial stability we will enhance the way we plan and produce our annual financial and fundraising strategy
-
To ensure we are delivering high quality services based on individual need, identified gaps and carer feedback - not continuing something because we have always done it - we will creatively and truthfully evaluate the core areas of our service
-
To increase carer awareness and ensure sustainability of the organisation we will continuously improve our profile, reputation, and reach, via a dynamic communications plan
A team of trained and supervised staff and volunteers provide our range of services to deliver these aims and priorities.
The Trustees of Swindon Carers Centre have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The main benefit which the organisation delivers is support to carers carrying out a caring role for persons with physical or mental health challenges or disability and to promote the development of self-help. This will enable them to have a quality of life alongside their caring role. This benefit is clearly relevant to the organisation's charitable purposes. The main beneficiaries are carers themselves.
The organisation's activities for the year were largely determined by the contracts in force with Swindon Borough Council (SBC) and Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (BSW CCG), and the additional funding obtained from a variety of sources, including Friends of Young Carers Swindon (FOYCS), St. James's Place Foundation (SJP), National Lottery Community Fund, Nationwide, Wiltshire Community Foundation, Carers Trust, Zurich Community Trust and TE Connectivity.

Volunteering hours 2020-21
Volunteering opportunities have been affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and consequently Swindon Carers Centre has not been able to maximise volunteering opportunities this year, however SCC has been assisted by many volunteers. Most of these volunteered as individuals, others were employee volunteers, and 3 were student placements. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers who have assisted in a variety of roles, including:
-
Carers groups and activities
-
Benefits checks
-
General Admin support
-
Information Technology
-
Counselling service
The value of volunteering to the organisation below uses the minimum wage for individual volunteers, and the average wage of £15.28 per hour for skilled and employee volunteers. This is really an underestimate of the value of the volunteering to us; but gives an indicative figure.
| Estimated hours | Value per hour | Total value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volunteers to Support Service Delivery | 160 | £8.72 | £1,395 |
| Information Technology volunteers | 1,032 | £15.28 | £15,769 |
| Volunteers within office/admin | 60 | £8.72 | £523 |
| Volunteer Benefits Advisors | 218 | £8.72 | £1,901 |
| Student placements | 1,445 | £8.72 | £12,600 |
| Trustee Hours | 130 | £15.28 | £1,986 |
| Total | 3,045 | £34,174 |

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
This has been an exceptionally busy year for Swindon Carers Centre. It has been dominated by Covid-19 and we have had to adapt our service provision to meet the requirements of lockdown, social distancing, and increased referrals. We have done a lot of work to help carers stay connected and thrive in their homes via supported digital activities and appropriate signposting to other organisations during this time. The impact of the pandemic on unpaid carers and their families has been huge.
We are now into the third year of the 5-year Swindon Borough Council contract for Carer Support Services with a possibility of an additional 2-year extension. The new contract started on January 1st, 2018 and runs until 31st December 2022. In October 2018 we also successfully bid for continuation funding from the National Lottery Community Fund for our Young Carer Champion Award (£147,630 over 3 years).
Swindon Carers Centre is now working with 79 schools, colleges, and alternative education providers to deliver the Young Carer Champion Award - giving carers a voice and ability to create positive change in their schools and local communities. The support for Young Carers in schools has been vital throughout Covid-19 and our School Development Manager, Ann Giles, has been able to continue support remotely via digital assemblies and interaction. 26 Young Carers achieved the Champion Award with accredited learning via the AQA Unit Award Scheme, increasing their confidence and raising their attainment levels in education.
Our Swindon Employers Care Award, led by our Partnerships Manager, Judy Evans, continues to gather momentum. Organisations signed up to the award include Wyvern Health Partnership, Intel, Sainsburys and Historic England. Swindon Borough Council and Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group achieved successful annual reviews of the award, with all standards of the award consistently applied.
We are an inclusive organisation and have continued to develop this work with the Swindon Inclusion and Diversity Network, where our Deputy CEO is an active council member - this role has now been taken by Debbie Murphy-Myers, Young Carer and Parent Carer Service Delivery Manager. Young Adult Carers have been recognised and supported as they make their journey through gender identity, expression, dysphoria and considering transition.
We continue to deliver consultation events with carers (for example, Carers Rights Day event, Young Carers Forum) which has ensured their involvement in designing services to meet their needs.
In March 2019 we were reaccredited with the Trusted Charity (formerly PQASSO) Version 4 Level 2 award. The Trusted Charity standard exists to build public trust and confidence in individual charities and in the sector as a whole and is a way of making sure organisations are well run, accountable and transparent. All Quality Areas were considered by the assessor to be impressively evidenced and she particularly highlighted the way we develop our services based on feedback from carers; our robust financial controls; learning and development opportunities for staff; excellent leadership and laudable commitment from Board members, volunteers and staff to the aims, values and mission of Swindon Carers Centre.
In January 2020 we were asked to be one of two Carers Centres in the country to be part of the pilot Excellence for Carers award from Carers Trust. This award is going to be rolled out across the Carers Trust Network and will be a prerequisite for membership moving forwards. We are delighted that following a desktop assessment and on-site interviewing process we met all the criteria outlined in the accreditation and have been awarded Excellence for Carers with no recommendations for improvement.
These quality assurance awards help our beneficiaries, commissioners, supporters, donors, volunteers, staff and the public to have confidence that we always work to a high standard.
Leadership and Management
The Senior Leadership Team continues to evolve. In November 2020 Deputy CEO Fiona Prinzi decided to move on from Swindon Carers Centre and left at the end of January 2021. This led to a small leadership/management restructure, enabling both Service Delivery Managers (Stuart Ilbury, Adult and Older team and Debbie Murphy-Myers, Young and Parent Carer team) to take on additional responsibilities as part of their continuing professional development, whilst enabling further investment in frontline service delivery to help meet the need of increased referrals to Swindon Carers Centre. Finance and Resources Director Suzanne Hunt, has continued to develop her team and those functions, including robust improvement in IT systems and development of a new website. The Resources Manager, Bronte Hague, has also taken on additional responsibilities and now leads on ensuring compliance with Government guidance on Covid response, Policy reviews and updates, robust Health and Safety whilst staff and volunteers are homeworking, and a new Wellbeing Project for staff and volunteers.
The full Management team of Bronte Hague, Debbie Murphy-Myers, Stuart Ilbury, Judy Evans, and Ann Giles hold full accountability for their service areas and has become fully embedded over the past 12 months.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The Charity held total funds at 31 March 2021 of £242,304.
We spent £402,612 on helping Adult Carers over the year plus £69,014 on parent carers. Expenditure on Young Carers was £162,523 and on Young Adult Carers (YAC's) it was £26,124. We also spent £16,858 on carers of all ages to help them through the pandemic by purchasing food vouchers, and wellbeing/ essential items for them and we spent £10,704 on supporting carers to claim the welfare and benefits that they are entitled to. Lastly, we spent £46,078 supporting schools and young carers to achieve the Young Carer Champion Award, through direct delivery of an accredited learning project led by our Schools Development Manager.
Principal funding sources
We would like to thank our main funders: Swindon Borough Council, Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group, Friends of Young Carers Swindon, St James's Place Foundation, the National Lottery Community Fund, Nationwide, Zurich Community Trust and Wiltshire Community Fund.
The vast majority of the funding for the delivery of services to carers was received from Swindon Borough Council (SBC), (being a combination of SBC and Swindon Clinical Commissioning Group funding). This totalled £566,621 for the year. In addition, significant grants were received from Friends of Young Carers Swindon (£28,374), St James's Place Wealth Management (£25,000), National Lottery Community Fund (£54,421), Nationwide (£2,178), Zurich Community Trust (£22,000) and Wiltshire Community Fund (£7,686 deferred from 19/20 plus £1,400 additional funding) and TE Connectivity (£3,335 deferred from 19/20 plus £2,367 additional funding) and £7,000 from the Carers Trust. Plus we received £7,500 through DEFRA in order to provide carers with much needed food vouchers or parcels.
This makes a total income from contracts and grants for the year of £729,748. This money has been used to deliver the services outlined above.
We also received £5,200 generated through fees for 3 student placements with Swindon Carers Centre plus fees from Swindon Advocacy Movement of £600 and a grant from VAS for £932 to help pay for additional covid PPE needs, and also £935 of non profit income.
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to supermarkets in Swindon for their generous donations of food, groceries and wellbeing items for carers we have received over the past year. These include Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Co-op, Waitrose, and John Lewis. In addition, support for carer events has been received from Nationwide Building Society, TE Connectivity, Stratton Parish Council and Bath University School of Management.
Donations (including Gift Aid recovery), our 50/50 lottery and income from fundraising events in the community totalled £20,856, whilst bank interest amounted to £3,213. We are very grateful to the Masonic Charitable Foundation for choosing us as one of their beneficiaries (£1,500), Barret Homes, WH Smiths and Persimmon Homes for donating £1,000 each, plus Asda for donating £300. We would like to thank Stratton Parish Council and Broome Manor Golf for choosing us to be their Charity of the year and raising £5,110 for us. Finally, our thanks go to Adam Morris from Avagio IT, who provided a free IT helpline for our carers during Covid-19, and to Dirk Anthony from Blank White Page and Paul Byrnes from Byrnes-Darwin Ltd, who donated time for leadership and management support during the early days of the first national lockdown.
The current risk profile of the major income stream is low due to the SBC/BSW CCG contract. However, the Board is aware that the current national climate has been dominated by the impact of Covid-19 and this is influencing the whole charity/funder landscape. It is still too early to tell if donations and grant funding will increase or decrease as a long-term result. The current SBC/BSW CCG contract has secured funding for the next 2 years (with a possible rollover for the following 2 years) but it is important to identify and implement significant additional income generation plans and to review our cost base to enable SCC to continue deliver a high-quality service and meet future demands. Our inhouse community fundraising aims to bring in unrestricted donations of approximately £7,150, plus we hope to bring in £19,315 worth of donations gained through partnership working and keeping our profile high. In addition, the trustee board and SLT continue to investigate other income generation opportunities and have a clear commitment to achieving this.
We are investing in a dedicated Grants and Impact Officer for the coming financial year to maximise potential in this area. Trustees continue to believe it is prudent and wise to hold reserves which may be needed throughout the current contract, and for possible partnership working and our current levels of reserves give us the flexibility to put these plans into operation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Following a review of the reserves policy in Nov 2020 the Trustee Board has set a minimum unrestricted reserve level of £110,000. The Board is aware of the continuing impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on both income and expenditure within SCC and that it may impact the future budgets and plans of our major funders. The Trustees therefore believe that it would be prudent and wise to hold reserves that will cover costs which may be needed for potential cost cutting purposes should they arise in the near future. It is also based on holding approximately one month's worth of wages to cover any short-term setbacks in funding or cash flow difficulties, plus funds to cover contractual costs and key staff redundancy costs should we lose our contract with the local authority and only Service delivery staff are TUPED to a new provider. The Reserves will be maintained, as required, by careful budgeting and management of finances. Trustees have agreed to review the Reserves Policy every 6 months (rather than annually) to ensure it continues to meet the needs of the organisation. It is next due to be reviewed in late April 2021.
General unrestricted funds stand at £192,754, restricted Funds stand at £49,550. Securing a 5-year contract with SBC has given us security in the medium term, allowing us to plan expenditure that will reduce the reserves to be more in line with the reserves policy while also investing time and resources in seeking new funding opportunities and improved efficiencies. Due to the many restrictions during the year it has been difficult to spend both our restricted and unrestricted money, we have seen a large increase in carers registering/seeking support, so in the 2021/22 budget we have allocated more money to frontline delivery services.
Funds in excess of immediate cash flow requirements are held in an instant access deposit account at Nationwide Building Society, Metro Bank, in a 35-day notice account with Redwood Bank, and in a 95-day notice account at Cambridge and Counties. Further funds are held in United Trust Bank in a 1-year fixed term account. The choice of these accounts is based on their interest rates and access. The Finance and Income generation working group considered the option of placing some funds into equities, however it was felt that we still could not guarantee that we would be able to leave the funds for the recommended 5 years minimal investment time in order to achieve the full benefit of investment funding.
Principal risks and uncertainties
Despite holding the Carers Support Services contract, the Board is keen to ensure there is prudency around cost control and alternative income generation to ensure we can continue to provide a high-quality service with increasing numbers of carers registering with us for support.
The current Coronavirus pandemic is putting a huge added strain on unpaid carers, and we are seeing evidence of that with increasing referrals to our service and no doubt this will be a key focus in the coming months into the new financial year as it impacts our service delivery provision and community fundraising. At the time of writing, our whole team continues to work remotely whilst planning for the end of the third lockdown and hopefully a return to more face to face contact once social distancing measures are lifted. We are also utilising the digital technologies available to us to provide additional engagement with carers.
Swindon Carers Centre continues to have ongoing dialogue with Swindon Borough Council over the increasing needs of unpaid carers. We are very focused on ensuring carers do not have to wait long for a Carers Assessment and have made changes to the way our team works to ensure our multi-skilled staff can quickly and efficiently meet the individual needs of our carers.
The Board will remain focused on income generation over the next 12 months. While we are in a strong position with good Reserves now, this will not necessarily be the case in future years if our staffing structure remains at the same level. Our community fundraising, general donations and savings interest will all be potentially impacted over the next 12 months by Covid-19.

FUTURE PLANS
The organisation has worked hard this year to achieve the aims and priorities set in its business plan. The Care Act 2014 and Children and Families Act 2014 continue to have a significant impact on Swindon Carers Centre, with more carers than ever registering with us. Our strong partnership work continues with other key stakeholders, including Carers Leads from Swindon Borough Council, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon, and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group, Great Western Hospital, and Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership, amongst others. The Carers Strategy for Swindon, which was formally published in November 2018 is embedded and measured against with key partners and will be reviewed and updated during 2021. We continue to work closely with other Sanford House tenants, including Citizens Advice Swindon, Swindon Advocacy Movement, Swindon, and Gloucestershire MIND and Healthwatch to promote Sanford House and ensure residents in Swindon know and can access the services available to them.
This collaborative work will remain vital as the voluntary sector continues to support vulnerable service users post Covid-19. At the time of writing, the Coronavirus pandemic is having a huge impact on service users and we are having to adapt our service delivery in line with government guidelines around self-isolation, social shielding, and social distancing.
The investment work carried out over the past two years in our IT infrastructure has ensured we have been able to transfer the whole organisation to remote working in a robust and seamless way and regardless of whether we stay as a remote team or we come together back under one roof or have a combination of the two, we will continue that investment in digital technologies, capabilities and expertise.
We are continuing to ensure the voice of carers is strong, and their feedback is vitally important to ensuring their increasing needs are at the centre of commissioning decisions as well as our service development.
We will continue to work with education providers in Swindon to ensure Young Carers have the best chance possible to ensure their health, emotional wellbeing, socialisation, and life opportunities are not compromised and will continue to support carers moving from school into further/higher education or employment.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Swindon Carers Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee, without share capital, incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address, nature of the charity's operations and principal activities can be found in the Trustees' Report.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
There are no significant areas of judgements or key sources of estimation uncertainty.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Legal status of the Charity
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of:
-
the date on which the charity is aware that probate has been granted;
-
the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution
-
will be made; or
-
when a distribution is received from the estate.
Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Allocation and apportionment of costs
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories in the Statement of financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particulate activity are allocated directly. Support costs, including governance costs, are apportioned on the basis of estimated aggregate time expended on each activity.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Financial risk management
The charity has minimal exposure to customer credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Please refer to the risk section of the trustees annual report for information on how risks are managed. The charity does not have any non basic financial instruments.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value over their expected useful lives.Fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
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 after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Redundancy/termination payments
Termination benefits are measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. If the expected settlement date of the termination payments is 12 months or more after making the provision and the effect would be material, the present value of the obligation is calculated using an appropriate discount rate.
