## **CARIS HARINGEY**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **For the year period ended 30 September 2025**
## **REVIEW OF NEED AND OPERATING CONTEXT**
Throughout 2024–2025, demand for CARIS Haringey’s services remained high and continued to increase. Families faced prolonged stays in temporary accommodation, including bed and breakfast accommodation, due to a severe shortage of permanent social housing within the borough.
Many families supported by CARIS experienced long-term housing insecurity, with some remaining in temporary accommodation for many years. This had significant implications for children’s wellbeing, mental health, and development, particularly for younger children.
The charity operated against a backdrop of rising living costs, increased poverty, and constrained local authority and charitable funding. These pressures contributed both to increased demand for services and growing financial strain on the organisation.
## **ADVICE & ADVOCACY**
CARIS provided advice and casework support in housing, welfare benefits, immigration, women’s support, and family-related issues. During this period, the charity successfully underwent an Advice Quality Standard (AQS) audit and retained the Quality Mark for General Help with Casework. CARIS also maintained its registration at Immigration Advice Authority (formerly OISC) Level 1.
## **Family Support and Play Provision**
Family-focused support remained central to the charity’s work. Drop-in and play sessions provided safe, welcoming environments where children could engage in structured play activities supporting development, mobility, and social interaction. Parents were encouraged to play with their children and supported to understand the importance of play in early development.
A clothing exchange operated alongside these sessions, enabling families to access good-quality clothing and essential items at no cost. Seasonal play schemes were delivered during the summer and Christmas periods, offering creative activities, trips, and structured programmes for children and families. These initiatives helped reduce isolation, build trust, and provide positive experiences for families living in difficult circumstances.
## **Learning and Skills**
English language classes at basic and intermediate levels continued throughout the year, supporting learners to improve confidence and communication skills. Learners were supported to progress into further education or training opportunities, including vocational and skills-based courses.

## **Trustees' Report**
## **For the year period ended 30 September 2025**
## **Partnership Working**
CARIS continued to work collaboratively with local schools, faith organisations, community groups, and statutory partners. This included a pilot partnership with a local school to deliver art-therapy-based counselling support for children experiencing emotional and social difficulties, evaluated jointly with education and specialist professionals.
## **VOLUNTEERS AND SUPPORTERS**
Volunteers remained essential to the delivery of CARIS services. Many volunteers brought lived experience and strong local knowledge, strengthening relationships with service users and enriching service delivery. The Trustees extend sincere thanks to all volunteers, churches, schools, faith groups, funders, and local residents whose generosity of time, funding, and advocacy enabled CARIS Haringey to continue its work during this period.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The charity’s income for period ended 30 September 2025 was £162,446 (2024: £204,719) of which £103,350 was restricted (2024: £159,640) and the remaining £59,096 (2024: £45,079) was unrestricted. The expenditure for the year was £282318 (2024 : £248,352) of which £153,943 was restricted (2024: £150,006) finishing the year with net expenditure of £119,872 (2024: £43,633).
## **RISK REVIEW**
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and procedures have been implemented to minimise those risks. The key risk again identified during the financial year is external and relates to funding. Significant progress continues to be made in the development of a funding strategy to diversify funding and address new areas of activity.
## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT**
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.

## **Trustees' Report**
## **For the year period ended 30 September 2025**
## **CHAIR'S REPORT**
I am writing to present this special report covering the period from March 2025 to September 2025, which represents an exceptionally challenging and ultimately defining chapter in the history of CARIS Haringey.
Despite the continued commitment of staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners, the Trustees were required to take the difficult decision to cease operations and proceed with the closure of the organisation. This decision was not taken lightly and followed extensive consideration of the charity’s financial position, funding outlook, and long-term sustainability.
## **DECISION TO CEASE OPERATIONS**
From early 2025 onwards, the Trustees undertook a detailed review of CARIS Haringey’s financial viability and operating environment. This review identified significant and ongoing risks to sustainability, including:
- Increasing demand for services alongside reduced funding availability Rising operational costs
Limited prospects for securing sufficient long-term funding to continue services responsibly
- Following careful assessment and professional advice, the Trustees concluded that continuing operations would place the charity at risk of financial instability and compromise its ability to meet legal and fiduciary obligations. As a result, a decision was made to wind down services and close the organisation in a controlled and responsible manner.
## **STAFF REDUNDANCY AND SUPPORT**
A central priority during the wind-down period was supporting staff through the redundancy process. The Trustees ensured that: All statutory and contractual employment obligations were met Staff were kept informed and supported throughout the process Redundancies were managed fairly, respectfully, and transparently The Trustees wish to place on record their deep appreciation for the dedication, professionalism, and compassion shown by staff throughout this period.
## **CLOSURE OF SERVICES AND OFFICE**
As part of the winding-down process, CARIS Haringey:
- Gradually ceased service delivery in a planned manner
- Communicated clearly with service users and partners to support appropriate transitions
- Closed the charity’s office premises
- Ensured secure handling and retention of records in line with legal requirements
- Where possible, efforts were made to signpost families and individuals to alternative sources of support.
## **FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT AND WINDING DOWN**
The Trustees confirm that all funds received during this period have been, and will continue to be, used responsibly and in accordance with the charity’s objectives and donor intent.
Expenditure during the wind-down period was focused on:
- Staff redundancy and associated employment costs
- Costs directly related to closing the organisation
- Fulfilling outstanding contractual and legal obligations
Following settlement of all liabilities and closure costs, any remaining funds will be distributed in accordance with the charity’s governing document and charity law to one or more organisations with similar charitable aims, ensuring continued public benefit.
## **FINAL REFLECTIONS AND THANKS**
CARIS Haringey has supported homeless and vulnerably housed families across the borough for many years. The Trustees are proud of the charity’s legacy and the positive difference it has made in the lives of countless children and families. We extend our sincere thanks to all supporters, donors, volunteers, churches, schools, funders, partners, and staff whose commitment and generosity sustained CARIS Haringey until its final closure.

## **Trustees' Report**
## **For the year period ended 30 September 2025**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company 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).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditureof the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
d) state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006, was approved by the Board on 21 May 2026 and signed on its behalf.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of CARIS Haringey**
I report on the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 September 2025 as set out on pages 8 to 18.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 2006 Act”).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year 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”).

1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
2. the accounts do not accord with such records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
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.
## **Emphasis of Matter paragraph**
We draw attention to Note 1 a) in the financial statements, which explains that the Trustees have resolved to wind up the charity and that the financial statements have been prepared on a break-up basis. Our report is not modified in respect of this matter.

- The trustees acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.
These financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), were approved by the Board on ____________________________ 21 May 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

**CARIS HARINGEY**
**Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the period ended 30 September 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation and going concern**
The financial statements 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
During the year, the Trustees resolved that the charity would cease operations and proceed with an orderly winding up due to a lack of sustainable funding. Accordingly, the financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis but instead on a break-up basis.
Under this basis, assets are stated at their net realisable value, being the estimated amount that the charity expects to recover from their disposal. Liabilities are recognised at the amounts expected to be settled, including any additional costs arising directly from the decision to cease operations.
Provision has been made for all known liabilities and anticipated costs associated with the winding up of the charity, including, where applicable, overhead costs, lease termination costs, and professional fees. These amounts are based on the Trustees’ best estimates of the expected costs of closure.
The preparation of financial statements on a break-up basis requires the Trustees to make judgements and estimates, particularly in determining the realisable value of assets and the extent of liabilities and provisions. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates.
Any surplus assets remaining after settlement of all liabilities will be applied in accordance with the charity’s governing document and applicable charity law.
Comparative figures, where presented, have been prepared on a going concern basis and have not been restated to a break-up basis.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee (registered in England and Wales number 3304699) and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1. Its registered address is 6 Scotswood Walk Northumberland Park, London N17 0TF
## **b) Public benefit entity**
The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **c) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that 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.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **d) Donations of gifts, services and facilities**
On receipt, donated gifts, 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) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **f) Fund accounting**
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

**Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the period ended 30 September 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **h) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and activties undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **i) Allocation of support costs**
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.
> Summer playscheme 10%
> Advice and Family Support 90%
## **j) Operating leases**
Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## **k) Tangible fixed assets**
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £150. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
- Office fixture and equipment
5 years
## **l) Stocks**
Donated items of stock, held for distribution or resale, are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## **m) 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.
## **n) 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. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **o) 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.
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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **p) Pensions**
Pension contributions to employees' pension scheme is charged to Statement of Financial Activties when due.
