Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Sutton Carers Centre (SCC) is a charitable company limited by guarantee, formed in 1994 and registered as a charity in 1997. The organisation was initiated in 1992 and was one of the first Princess Royal Trust for Carers Centres in the country. The company was established under a Memorandum which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. These were updated mainly to reflect changes in charity law a few years ago and continue to be regularly reviewed. In the event of the company being wound up, its members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Trustees

The number of Trustees remained at eight and the number of Advisers three up until the end March, 2021.

All Trustees/Directors are volunteers and most have working and/or caring commitments in addition to this role. Induction and training for Trustees takes various forms, both formal and informal, and takes place throughout the year. We continually review the skills of Board members, considering the challenges and opportunities facing the organisation, whilst also embracing the benefits of a diverse membership.

We actively review our board membership and continually seek interest from potential Trustees. We remain Carer-led, across the board.

Our Trustees have a broad range of professional skills in working with children and young people, finance, fundraising, marketing, PR and communications, project and business management, as well as their own personal experience of caring in Sutton.

Harsha Ganatra has chaired our Board of Trustees throughout the year. Harsha is a local resident and carer with a rich, professional career in Local Authority commissioning as well as previously having been CEO at another Carers Centre.

All Trustees are elected by our members at our AGM and resign by rotation, offering themselves up for re-election if desired.

The Management Board meets at least five times a year in addition to the AGM. Trustees receive regular reports from the Chief Executive on strategic and governance issues that require their knowledge or decision, as well as comprehensive financial monitoring from the Finance and Funding Committee. We also consider service reports (including contractual performance against key targets) from the Service Managers as well as highlights from our Office Manager on matters such as HR, health and safety, quality assurance and other infrastructure matters. The Board also receives a safeguarding report from the CEO at each meeting and we review any complaints, GDPR issues as well as celebrate accolades.

The Finance and Funding Sub-Committee reports to the board. This committee meets between Management Board meetings and its remit remains the monitoring of the financial performance of the Centre, as well as planning for ways the Board can meet its own targets for fundraising; it also covers key HR and legal issues such as our lease contract, to make recommendations to the full

Board as indicated. Our Community Fundraising Events Working Group, set up in 2019, has proved invaluable – connecting with Sutton’s community to raise additional funds to maintain, enhance and develop services for Sutton’s carers.

The Board continues to utilise the Finance and Funding sub-committee extensively. This meets between Management Board meetings and its remit remains the detailed monitoring of the financial performance of the Centre, as well as exploring and planning, for ways the Board can meet its own targets for fundraising included in the annual budget. Our Community Fundraising Events Working Group, set up in 2019, has proved invaluable – connecting with Sutton’s community to raise additional funds in order to maintain, enhance and develop services for Sutton’s carers.

Organisational structure

Day-to-day management of the Charitable Company is delegated to the CEO against the Management Board’s agreed policies and target outcomes. Despite the ‘back office’ changes/challenges in funding and project streams, all services are run in parallel, aiming to provide a seamless Carer pathway as indicated by need and desired outcome. We work in an integrated, ‘matrix’ fashion across ages, and all health and social care issues, adopting a ‘wholefamily’ approach where this best meets the needs of Carers and the people for whom they care.

Core teams

The core teams comprise of:

Each team provides a core service of advice, information and emotional and practical support, but also takes a lead to ensure that all Carers and their families have access to:

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

Staffing and volunteers

Staffing remained stable with approximately 12 full-time and 5 part-time core staff across all services. We continually review posts and roles given the difficult financial climate, whilst recognising that the Carers we see are presenting with more complex needs, which impacts on our staff. The remuneration of the charity’s key management personnel is set by the Board of Trustees, taking into account the charity’s financial position and the amount paid for comparable roles in comparable organisations.

We have worked to develop the roles of the (largely voluntary) Information Workers to increase outreach in person, online and through social media and, with further training, although we desperately need even more volunteers to help provide information and advice to Carers and this is a strategic aim to develop our volunteering programme. Staff also support the independent Sutton Carers Forum but during the year have now paused this work so that we can review how best to support carer colleagues to increase its inclusivity, reach and impact.

In addition to core staff, we continue to host 2 Psychological Therapists from the Mental Health Trust, an outpost for the teams of Admiral Nurses (the largest team in the country) and maintained the increased hours of the Senior Advisor/Case Worker from the Sutton CABx (now Citizens Advice Sutton) as a result of our successful joint bid to the City Bridge Foundation. We continue to outsource our accountancy, payroll and some HR functions, as well as contract sessional workers for clinical supervision, some activities and training.

Most of our workers are current or former carers, many also have professional qualifications in e.g., teaching, social work or psychology. The team is still predominantly female, but continues to become on average younger, more diverse in terms of heritage and background and have increasing qualifications and experience. Interestingly, the majority of our staff live within a 5 mile radius of the Centre.

With reference to volunteers, the Charity remains dependent on volunteers to achieve its aims, with volunteers in almost every area of our activities. Their contribution is highly valued and we pay homage to the many hundreds of volunteers who have previously been involved with SCC since our inception. This includes Trustees, Therapists and Counsellors, Reception and Admin volunteers, Young and Adult Activity volunteers, Outreach Information, Advice, and Support volunteers and Fundraisers. Currently, between 50 and 60 volunteers contribute over 100 hours each week. Local volunteers have an invaluable role for most charities seeking to serve their local community, and if their contribution to Sutton Carers Centre was costed, this would equate, conservatively, to nearly £110K. We continue to actively recruit new volunteers and support both them and more experienced volunteers through our induction and training systems, in line with our Charity’s standards of the volunteer management quality mark. We continue to update our valuable reference handbook for volunteers. We celebrate the support of our volunteers with a small reception during Volunteers’ Week each year.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a continued increased reliance on volunteers to help SCC continue to reach and expand support to carers. This included setting up new internal and cross-Borough systems to aid carers accessing shopping, PPE and other essential items to their caring roles. Our volunteer Counsellors continued to offer one-to-one support remotely.

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

Our Aims and Objectives

We offer support to any unpaid Carer who lives or works in the London Borough of Sutton (or where relevant, the surrounding areas if the person for whom they care is receiving services in Sutton) without distinction as to age, gender, disability, sexual orientation, faith or belief, ethnicity or caring responsibilities. We value the increasing diversity of our communities and attempt to remove or overcome barriers to accessing our services.

In line with national policy definitions, we define a ‘Carer’ as someone who unpaid cares for and supports a family member or friend, someone who could not manage without this help due to illness, disability, mental health or substance misuse issues.

Purposes, Aims and Values

Our Charity’s purpose is defined and based on those set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Sutton Carers Centre’s vision is of communities in which every Carer is recognised and respected as an individual and can get the support they need and the assurance that they are not alone.

SCC’s mission is to support Carers to improve their health, well-being and quality of life by:

Our values inform our work, to achieve our vision, reflecting not just WHAT we do, but HOW we do it. They are:

How Our Activities Deliver Public Benefit

In forming the charity’s objectives and activities, the Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

All our activities focus on supporting Sutton’s Carers to achieve the following outcomes:

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

How carers benefit from our services

Our charitable remit is to assist unpaid family or friend carers who live or work in Sutton. There are three core groups of Carers around whom our services remain focused:

The core areas of our work remain the provision of advice and information, advocacy, and a range of support and bio-psycho-social therapeutic services. We now also have a well-developed, hybrid type of services providing services digitally to those who could receive services in this way, whilst being highly conscious that a proportion of our carers remain digitally excluded.

We are purposefully based in central Sutton with good access to public transport, so as to be easily accessible to many Carers. We continue to provide some of our services regularly on an outreach basis at local centres to improve accessibility. Work in the more northern wards of Sutton has helped us reach communities where there are high numbers of Carers, residents caring for the longest hours, and families who experience some of the greatest economic and social challenges. We have developed our outreach, not only through existing community events, but have for many years e.g., held regular presence in the local Mental Health Trust hospital ward (where we find significant numbers of new Carers in crisis) and now also in an increasing number of primary care settings, schools/colleges.

7

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

Following commissioning of our services via tenders or through competitive grant applications, the delivery of these services has changed with SCC working increasingly with more families in more complex situations. This became more evident during the onset and peak of the Covid pandemic. Not only did Carers and Carer families find themselves in highly challenging circumstances, but it exposed many more Carers and the intersection of inequalities that they experience e.g. carers from the ‘BAMER’/’BIPoC’ minoritised communities. We note that there is a continuing need to increase support for mental health and wellbeing, too.

We strive to support carers to self-care, remain unencumbered by professional input, yet help as much as possible where and when indicated. There remains the ‘light-touch’ level of work as well as the ability to ‘step up and down’ our interventions whilst not losing contact with families over time – social connectedness being key to carer wellbeing.

Support is provided via information, advice and guidance through information packs and regular newsletters/bulletins (increasingly via email and social media). However, we always remain available to support those Carers who come to us in crisis, in need of ongoing frequent or infrequent specialist support – or some Carers may be in intermittent phone, email or personal contact, as they deem necessary to care well and stay in good health. We continue to refer or support Carers to receive a formal Carer’s Needs Assessment with the Local Authority where indicated, but will continue to work to influence the appropriate uptake of Assessments and ensuring that there are concrete outcomes for those Carers eligible for support. Nationally, we note from Digital NHS, that in 2020-21 more carers were either supported or assessed by local authorities through a Carer’s Assessment – this figure went up by 3.3% since 2019-20. We see this trend as an encouraging sign.

We continue to provide advice, information and assistance with claiming benefits and other ways to maximise family income, the opportunity to receive psychological and complementary therapies such as Counselling, Aromatherapy or Reflexology, and the chance to participate in a range of social, learning, creative or training activities, as well as breaks from caring roles. Some of this was necessarily put on hold during ‘lockdowns’, both due to the nature of contact during complementary therapies, but also availability of volunteers, as well as Carers being less able to attend in person.

Particularly at moments of crisis for the Carer, or the person they care for, support can be intensive for a period. Increasing numbers of Carers need specialist support, so we have been developing training and supervision programmes for both our paid staff and volunteers to be able to recognise, assess and respond to presenting and ongoing needs. Working with Carers, we assess their needs, plan the support that would be most helpful and then measure the impact, ensuring that what we do makes the most positive difference for Carers and their families.

The Carers we support broadly represent the communities in Sutton in terms of ethnicity, but male carers, young adult carers and members of the LGBTQ+ communities were still under-represented; therefore this continues to influence outreach and service development. Our Male Carers Group continues to be self-supporting and appears to enjoy meeting in a local pub. We continued to support a Working Carers Group, a Complex Needs Carers Group, a Lone Carers Group, a Moving On group (for those whose cared for relative or friend has died) and most recently, at their request, increased support to Parent Carer Groups, in partnership with National Autistic Society in Sutton, Sutton Parents Carers Forum and others. Carers also have developed their own Meditation and Relaxation group as well as meeting up in between sessions, in the community.

Financial review

The costs of the Covid Pandemic, decades of austerity and BREXIT has meant that Government funding for social care and carers has been limited. Despite these financial challenges, Sutton Carers Centre has worked hard to bring together all available resources to deliver services for Carers. Locally, as part of the social care and health integration agenda, we are also seeing encouraging signs that people and partners in the ‘place’ in Sutton may be coming together to overcome some of these challenges in uniquely local and inspiring ways. Working across the system is key – and seeing Carers as partners in that system alongside paid professionals, is equally key.

We began the year with a deficit budget (and a conscious decision to use some of our Reserves, given Carers’ needs). As can be seen below we were able to reduce this deficit significantly, almost eliminating it, with a much more positive outcome. Risks due to reductions in the overall amount of money for services being commissioned are now very clear. Equally, an increasing focus (long apparent in the NHS) on crisis or near crisis point interventions - to the detriment of a proper balance with spending on preventative measures and the longer-term gains they can bring - poses a considerable threat to the welfare of the majority of Carers. Our specialist support services and skilled information and advice should be well placed not only to help those in crisis but also prevent families from reaching that point in the first place. Our services also strengthen family and community life, adding much social and public benefit.

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

Incoming resources, resources expended and services.

Income and expenditure were balanced but higher than the previous year (2019/20), income being £659,722 (vs £563,404), expenditure on services and support to Carers increased to £630,613 (from £575,655) in line with income. The largest income source continued to be the London Borough of Sutton (although the funding base has diversified).

We were fortunate to benefit from a legacy during the year increasing income by £10k. Volunteers and students continued to offer their support and input, some of whom were qualified professionals or in advanced stages of training, thus helping to maintain services despite the reduced funds.

Our experienced paid staff also worked to find new and more efficient ways to serve the same volume of Carers within existing resources, even when Carers’ lives are becoming more complex, especially with the first lockdown due to COVID-19 in March 2020.

The role of Director of Services was reviewed during 2019/20 and the post has been filled part-time by an existing member of staff. This will be reviewed further to increase the post to full-time, increasing capacity within SCC to continue increased support to Carers in the community during the COVID pandemic. Already this has proved a positive move helping to increase service offer, quality and diversity of funding.

2020/21 ended with a much better than expected result despite a difficult financial environment. Funds overall being carried forward in 2021/22 increased by £29,109. However, SCC’s general fund, including unrestricted and designated funds (our ‘reserves’, which exclude restricted funds) decreased by £10,707, compared to a deficit budget set of £59,500.

Funds that are ‘Restricted’ are often given by donors to ‘top-up’ core funding for e.g. Carers’ activities and breaks which provide much needed time out for both Young and Adult Carers, but are not deemed appropriate to be funded by public bodies. They are valued greatly by Carers and their families, supporting their health and wellbeing, monies going directly and visibly to benefit Carers.

Reserves Policy

This policy relates to the level of reserves appropriate for Sutton Carers Centre. Each year the Finance and Funding Committee examines SCC’s reserves in the light of the risks facing the organisation bearing in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance. We recommended to the Management Board (who agreed) that our reserves policy remain the same.

We re-affirmed that we needed to aim to build up unrestricted fund reserves, equal to 3 months’ budgeted total spending for the following financial year.

As above, the Reserves Policy, as set by the Trustees, is to have reserves equal to a minimum of 3 months’ budgeted expenditure for the following year. 2019/21 did not achieve the minimum with £103,789 (a decrease on last year’s figure of £114,496) held as unrestricted funds (25% of budgeted expenditure £578,263), but prudent given the uncertainties and pressures of COVID-19.

With the 2020/21 budget at £578,263, a 3 months’ reserves would equal £144,565, so we are c28% short of our current target for 2021/22. Trustees feel that this level of spend was still needed given the ongoing pressures of COVID-19 affecting carers; however, to appropriately manage risk, they also budgeted a slight surplus in 2021/22 to replenish the reserves. This does not allow much flexibility given the risks identified, however, therefore SCC will work assertively to build this up further, and replenish to the 3 months’ level.

11

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

In the short term, the Management Board also considers what might be done in terms of curtailing activities should the circumstances arise. Scenario-planning is imbedded in our Strategic Planning cycle and Risk Register, accordingly.

Investment Policy

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of our funds are spent in the short-term on delivering our objectives, so we have little to invest long-term. All fund balances are held in bank current and deposit accounts or as cash so are immediately available. In common with many others in the charity sector, we invest such funds as we do have longer-term in the Charity Office Investment Funds (COIF), and Virgin Deposit account.

Further details regarding the restricted funds are listed below:

Restricted Funds

Circle Club & Kit Kat Club

Balance £150 This

fund resulted from a private donation several years ago and £600 monies were paid in from the former Kit Kat Club. The Circle and Kit Kat Clubs provided a social outlet for Carers, the people they care for and other family members. In consultation with members of the group, the Club was incorporated into the mainstream activities of the Centre. It is now used to fund or subsidise Carers’ social activities, outings and courses, e.g. a restaurant outing, money for transport and so on. There was ‘0’ spend during the year.

Carers’ Transport Fund

Balance £1,043

This fund enabled us to offer and fund transport for those Carers who have difficulty accessing public transport or have emergency transport needs. It enables Carers to attend events organised by the Centre and so be fully included, as well as participate in consultation, engagement and other agencies’ events. Fund balance at end of year £1,043.

A transfer was agreed by trustees from restricted fund held ‘Mental Health Carers Transport’ of £453, being the balance of funding provided by the Primary Care Trust/NHS Sutton and Merton to assist Carers who have difficulty travelling to hospital to visit their family member whilst they are an inpatient. There was ‘0’ spend during the year.

Skills & Learning/Carers Relief Funds

Balance £3,038

Carers Centres can apply to Carers Trust and Sutton Nursing Association on behalf of Carers to access nationally and local held funds that help improve Carer quality of life.

Sutton Green Community

Balance £0

Sutton Carers Centre held this fund of £117 on behalf of Cllr M Heron who accessed funds on behalf of local residents to support community events in and around Sutton Green. As there has been no spend on this fund for 4 years, it was agreed by Cllr M Heron that the fund should be transferred as a donation to Sutton Carers Centre, for the work already carried out at community events.

Carers Forum Development

Carers Forum Development Balance £2,450 SCC was awarded £9,898 in 2014/15 by the Social Community Fund via Sutton CVS (now Community Action Surrey) to review and develop the Carers Forum and other means of Carer involvement and representation. There was ‘0’ spend during the year.

Uplift Wellbeing Navigator

Balance (£427)

Development of Carers’ Manual

Balance £297 This

manual was commissioned by the Primary Care Trust a few years ago and is an information resource specifically for those Carers looking after people with mental health issues.

Lloyd’s Bank Foundation

Balance £14,707

SCC was awarded £15,000 in 2016/17 to research, develop and pilot a menu of chargeable services which meets the needs of Carers whilst generating sustainable income for the charity. This was to involve the recruitment of new posts, research, consultative events/meetings and to develop an operational plan to launch and run new services. Recruitment costs of £293 have been spent in advance, in readiness for recruitment, although this fund is currently under review with the funder, given SCC’s changed priorities.

BBC Children in Need

Balance £1,880

SCC was awarded a three year grant to offer capacity-building support to schools as well as a range of support services for Young Carers in schools.

MeWe Project

Balance £0

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31[st] March 2021

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Sutton Carers' Centre for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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 as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

Auditors

Myrus Smith Chartered Accountants have indicated their willingness to accept reappointment as auditors of the charity for a further term and a resolution proposing their reappointment will be put to the members at the Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of:

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Sutton Carers Centre Charity Company (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of:

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

17

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of:

SUTTON CARERS CENTRE CHARITY COMPANY

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
