Report of the Directors (including the Trustees' Report) For the year ended 31 March 2023

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS 102) issued in 2015 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The charity is a charitable company and is limited by guarantee. The charity's governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association, which restricts the charity's operations to all lawful acts as are necessary or incidental to its Objects.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

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 expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

Structure, governance and management

The trustees have responsibility to direct the charity's affairs in such a way as to promote the Objects.

Report of the Directors (including the Trustees' Report) - Continued For the year ended 31 March 2023

Structure, governance and management continued

Day to day management

The day to day management of the charity is carried out by the Chief Executive Officer, responsible to the Executive Committee made up of the trustees of the company.

General meetings are held bi-monthly to discuss matters and for decision making. Meetings are carried out in line with the Articles of Association of the company.

Other major roles in the charity include the individual project managers and supervisors and the finance officer who performs accounting duties.

Recruitment and training of trustees

Trustees are recruited based on their knowledge and experience in the services the charity provides to meet its objectives. Formal training is provided to new trustees based on their existing knowledge. Training is available as it be required.

Risk management

The board of trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate systems of controls, financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records, for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that:

Risk review

The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and appropriate systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding have lead to the development and implementation of a strategic plan. This will allow for the re-direction of funding and some activities.

Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are constantly reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Objectives and activities

The charity's objectives as stated in the company's Memorandum and Articles of Association are principally for the benefit of the community in North Lincolnshire and surrounding areas.

Achievements and Performance

This year we have been able to deliver all our services and support out across the different communities In Northern Lincolnshire as well as at each of the centres as all lock down rules ceased. As a result, we have seen significant increase in the number of Carers accessing various services such as Peer Support groups, training and activities and counselling.

The helpline offering a listening ear, information and guidance has been the busiest ever, and in the quarter to March 2023 we registered the highest number of new Carers to the service with 463 Carers registering.

It has also been a year of developing services and new services starting such as the lunch clubs, Men in Sheds Project, Cooking Club, Carers Voice, and the development of our hospital-based support expanding to work across Scunthorpe General, Great Oakes and Diana Princess of Wales Hospitals.

Our most significant development has been our new Dementia Direct service supporting people living with dementia and their Carers, in North Lincolnshire. The service started in January 2023 and in the first three months we have recruited three specialist staff and established clear referral pathways enabling 130 Carers and people living with dementia to be referred into the service.

We have also established two dementia cafés in Brigg and Barton with a plan to open two more in the coming months in Epworth and Scunthorpe.

A year of significant growth, development, and consolidation for the charity. Carers are coming forward in greater numbers and receiving greater recognition across the region by many organisations and service providers. As a of consequence a record number of Carers are now receiving the services and support, they need.

Training and Events

This year, we have delivered a robust package of training opportunities to Carers. There remains a strong emphasis on well-being while introducing some courses and workshops geared to Carers interests and hobbies. Courses have included anxiety management, legal matters, first aid, mindfulness, and various courses on living with and understanding dementia.

During this year there has been 217 training events with attendance of 341 Carers

There are several activity groups meeting regularly and many activity days. The Art Group, Luncheon Club, Tai Chi Groups and Men in Sheds group have proved very popular. Activity Days have included Yoga sessions, and Ceramic and Craft workshops. There have been 397 meetings with 1649 Carers attending these meetings during the year.

Grants

Much of the support we provide to Carers is practical, such as advocacy and benefits advice. We also apply for grants from external organisations where Carers need financial support to help with their caring role. This year we have applied for grants for a range of things, such as washing machines and tumble dryers, wheelchairs, beds, child car seats, holidays, and driving lessons. This year North East Lincs were successful in obtaining £16,715 for 71 Carers, while North Lincs obtained £2,100 for 11 Carers.

A major grant for the Carers’ Support Service of £10,000 came from the Carers Trust to develop the Men in Sheds project and Cooking club and to establish a Carer therapy service in Scunthorpe.

North East Lincolnshire was also given £14,000 to distribute to Carers as part of the Household Support Grant.

Benefits Advice Service

As a result of this guidance 649 Carers’ households have seen an increase in their income. The total amount of benefit gained for the year was £ 1,561,639.

Awareness Raising and Outreach Work

The Carers’ Support Service continues to strengthen and embed relationships with local organisations and developed many new ones. We are working more closely with employers on Carer friendly policies and procedures, we are training staff teams on Carer awareness, we are attending organisation wellbeing events, we are educating students at local colleges, we are recruiting Carers Champions across health, social care, community organisations and the private sector. The aim is to ensure Carers can identify themselves as Carers early in their caring journey, can be supported to recognise themselves as Carers by professionals, can access information right across the county and are referred to the Carers’ Support Service for support wherever they present themselves.

This year we have provided 220 training and awareness raising sessions to professionals, organisations, and community groups. We conducted 1560 hours of community outreach.

Time has also been invested in developing our new brand and website and producing a number of Carers stories on film, which has supported all our outreach and awareness raising.

A Step Change for Carers at our Local Hospitals

This year we increased our presence in Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and Scunthorpe General Hospital. We have worked intensely with staff to raise the awareness and profile of Carers. We have built strong links with key staff right across the hospital and supported the hospital with the development of their own Carer policy, for staff and visiting carers. A carers charter is now displayed in most wards, making clear the hospitals commitment to supporting Carers. In addition to this, Carers who are part of the new Carers Voice have been working on a Carers Guide to the hospital, written by Carers for Carers, that will launch next year. The guide will clearly explain what support is available for Carers when the person they care for visits hospital, the things carers need to consider and the questions they need to ask.

This work has had a big impact on the number of Carers being identified at the hospitals, and subsequently we have had a 30% increase in the number of Carers registering for our support.

Increasingly Carers are being pro-actively involved in patient care, and their wellbeing considered alongside the health and wellbeing of the patient. Carers have described the change in support they now receive at the hospitals as ‘night and day’.

This work has securely embedded the Carers’ Support Service in practices and procedures across both hospitals.

Social Media and electronic communication

Social media is a key tool for communicating with Carers and the wider population of Northern Lincolnshire. More Carers are engaging with our messages and as a result we are seeing the reach of our posts increase, meaning more people are seeing our messages. A key element of our social media is our branding, which we have developed and are using consistently across our social media platforms. This means people are more likely to recognise a social media post as belonging to the Carers’ Support Service when then scroll through their social media feeds. Social media is also a key tool that we use to drive people to our website, where people can find more information about the topic of the post they have seen on social media.

The social media platforms we are now using are Facebook, Twitter, and more recently Instagram. We are developing a presence on LinkedIn. Different platforms widen our audience. Instagram will help us reach more Young Adult Carers, while LinkedIn will help us reach professionals and working Carers, and assist in our networking with other organisations.

Our Facebook audience is now 2993 and our twitter audience is 1336. We have a new audience of 149 people on Instagram. Across these platforms, this is a total 10% increase on last year.

Our Facebook Reach this year was 58,106 and our Instagram Reach 1,547.

Volunteers

The Carers' Support Centre makes a significant use of volunteers in the course of undertaking its charitable activities. Our thanks go to all of them.

Volunteers help to transport Carers to and from Carers Groups and support Carers within the groups. Volunteers also provide counselling, befriending, computer tuition, alternative therapies and beauty treatments and admin support. There are currently 93 volunteers supporting us with our work across the charity.

Carers Week

During Carers Week each area hosted a Conference – Make Caring Visible, Valued and Supported. They brought together 120 Carers and 80 professionals, and the various workshops and discussions focused on what Carers saw as their priorities for support and how these can be shaped. As an outcome of the conference in North Lincolnshire a group of Carers have come together to form the Carers Voice.

Detailed here are some figures about the Carers registered with the Carers Support Services and the services they are accessing.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees of Carers' Support Centre For the year ended 31 March 2023

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 set out on pages 11 to 20.

Retrospective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145(1) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to;

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2023

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective January 2015) and with the Accounting and Reporting by: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102) (issued in January 2015).

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The company's activities are dependent upon the continued support of its key funders who have undertaken to provide such support for the foreseeable future.

If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable values, to provide any further liabilities that may arise and reclassify fixed assets to current assets and long terms liabilities to current liabilities.

Cash flow statement

The trustees have taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 102 from including a cash flow statement in the financial statement on the grounds that the charity is small.

Grants receivable

Revenue grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year for which they are received.

Taxation

The company is a registered charity and its activities are not subject to taxation.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows;

Freehold property Not depreciated Leasehold property 20% Straight line basis Fixtures and fittings 25% Reducing balance basis

Staff Costs and overhead expenses

Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of time spent unless otherwise identified to a particular fund.

Designated funds

The Trustees have designated funds in the area of research & development to ensure that the Carers' Support Centre continues to deliver relevant services in the future.
