## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## **REVIEW OF THE YEAR**
TCIL has continued the core activities of providing information, advice and advocacy throughout the year. With continuing financial pressures, in February 2025 the charity has continued to look at ways to reduce costs, and has entered into an office sharing agreement with Essex Cares as well as continuing with its arrangement with the local Citizens Advice Bureau.
The charity was able to continue its successful World of Work programme of providing a service to people with a learning difference and/or mental health issues, to enable them to become more work ready, including the essential provision of supported work experience. Supporting people into work continues to be high on the agenda of the authorities (both national and local), and TCIL’s experience in providing such support to vulnerable people is acknowledged and continues to be commissioned by the local authority. It has also continued with its improving numeracy skills through participation in the Multiply programme, funded through the Thurrock Adult Education College.
In addition, TCIL continued to deliver commercial quality payroll and bookkeeping services to the third sector at highly competitive rates. The charity currently produces over 160 pay slips monthly for its clients, together with all relevant filings and payments advices, and administers the whole range of deductions and benefits (e.g. maternity pay, sick pay, pension deductions, allowances, hourly pay, attachments orders etc.), and BACS file production, as well as acting an approved agent for pension auto-enrolment.
In bookkeeping, TCIL supports a comprehensive range of bookkeeping services, including ledger management, trial balances, VAT calculations and returns and a range of management information reports, including cash flow.
For some years, TCIL has acted as a “host” organisation which is able to hold and administer monies for Thurrock Send Family Forum (Formerly CaPa, Carers and Parents), a Thurrock based non-constituted group. Monies were held by TCIL to the Forum’s order (held as a restricted fund).

## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## **Principal Sources of Funding**
The financial collapse of the late 2000s had a traumatic and continuing impact upon the funding of Social Care, with consequential knock-on into the third sector. The “double-blow” has been to increase the demand for services from vulnerable people as their support services and structures are increasingly challenged or reduced, whilst at the same time reducing the funding available to organisations that have traditionally supported them to live as independent and fulfilled a life as possible. For the charity, this has meant a period of some 4 years of restructuring its operational model and cost base to achieve its current stable, minimized form. As a result of the funding obtained and restructured cost base, TCIL commenced the period in a relatively stable financial position.
The largest single funding stream once again came jointly from Thurrock Council for a further year of the World of Work project (WoW), a highly regarded service designed to bring vulnerable people nearer the workplace. However, the matched funding from the former Thurrock Clinical Commissioning Group ceased for the Mental Health stream of the World of Work from 1 October 2019 as part of a change in its focus towards early intervention in psychosis.
This change of emphasis effectively means that approximately 60% of the Mental Health workstream of WoW will no longer qualify for support and the remaining 40% would be supported by another provider. This has meant the loss of a member of staff but more significantly, a large number of people had their service removed. Fortunately the Essex Community Fund were able to source part of the required funding and TCIL has maintained the service.
Whilst TCIL has always provided an advocacy service, demand has continued to increase over the year and for an everbroadening range of purposes; potentially a reflection of the general move to on-line applications. This is particularly true for the completion of Last Powers of Attorney, where TCIL staff have had training from the Office of The Public Guardian and provide assistance with the completion of the necessary application forms, which it does free of charge.
The monies received from Thurrock & Brentwood MIND cover reimbursement of a TCIL employee’s costs associated with the Carer’s Service, together with a contribution of £10,000 towards the cost of advocacy. However the Carers’ contract effectively ceased in April 2025, and the Advocacy contract was lost in tender in September 2025.
## **Wheelchair Hire**
TCIL continued to provide its wheelchair hire service, including having the two specialist wheelchairs, suitable for traversing soft/uneven ground (i.e. Mountain Trikes). These assets offer hirers the opportunity to participate in activities that might otherwise be prohibited by virtue of the terrain and where special access has not been provided (e.g. country parks, camping, fishing, and watching local sports on sports fields).
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Document**
The organisation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, and governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which established the objects, and powers of the charitable company. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
The company was incorporated in 1999 as the Independence Resource Centre. At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 18[th] February 2009 the company name was changed to Thurrock Independence Resource Centre and adopted modernised Articles of Association. At the Annual General Meeting held on 22[nd] September 2011, the company changed its name by Special Resolution to the Thurrock Centre for Independent Living.
The objectives of TCIL as set out in the Memorandum of Association were not changed.

## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## **Philosophy and Activities**
TCIL is the centre for independent living for the disabled people of Thurrock, providing individual support and advice to disabled people to enable them to exercise choice and control over their lives.
TCIL is a social model based, user led organisation, working in partnership with disabled persons, carers and the community at large. The organisation works closely and consults, with local disabled people and groups, and participates in consultations both locally and nationally.
TCIL continued to provide its wheelchair hire service, including having the two specialist wheelchairs, suitable for traversing soft/uneven ground (i.e. Mountain Trikes). These assets offer hirers the opportunity to participate in activities that might otherwise be prohibited by virtue of the terrain and where special access has not been provided (e.g. country parks, camping, fishing, and watching local sports on sports fields).
## **Going Forward**
Because of the continuing shortage of funding for social care and the scarcity of opportunities to secure alternate substantive funding, the future remains unpredictable. Nevertheless, as of the year’s close, TCIL’s reserves show a satisfactory balance and it remains determined to provide the people of Thurrock with a Centre for Independent Living, and the Trustees will continue to seek funding for this activity from all and any source to achieve this.
Regrettably, Thurrock Council has effectively been bankrupted due to financial and investment mismanagement, and under the direction of central government and appointed external commissioners, has had to restrict services to statutory only. The detail of the impact on the third sector are as yet unknown but the opportunity for any discretionary funding seems to have disappeared.
TCIL continues to seek long term funding solutions, and remains flexible in its structure and scope to meet growing areas of demand from its constituents and other related organisations and bodies.
TCIL is a founder member of the Thurrock Coalition, together with Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions CIC, Thurrock and Brentwood MIND and Thurrock Diversity Network. The coalition is the appointed User Led Organisation for Thurrock and performs a critical role in connecting local government with those reliant on its services.
## **Services**
Once again, demand for the core services has remained high, and has continued to further increase over the period. With central government’s continued review of the welfare system, and changes to the assessment criteria being implemented in relation to fitness to work, combined with local council’s continued review its level of support and level of financial contribution made to individual’s care, so the demand for advice and advocacy invariably rises. TCIL has assisted clients in every part of the claim process, from initial applications to re-presentments and appeals, and has an exceptional success rate in overturning initial declines.
TCIL’s staff understand that each person has a unique set of needs, even though they may experience a common process in applications and assessment. Providing attention to individual’s needs and empathy with people’s circumstances together with its knowledge of the services and assistance available and critically how to best access them is the core value that TCIL brings to the community it serves.
TCIL, with other organisations, plays a vital role in ensuring that those most affected by the changes to social care, who are invariably representative of those most vulnerable in our society, are fairly represented, with their views and concerns effectively communicated and understood by those charged with assessing and administering the care and assistance they need to lead full and productive lives.
TCIL is able to support people to access a wide range of services and have promoted and met a growing demand for assistance in completing Lasting Power of Attorney applications which does free of charge. In addition, it has added Will making to its list of services.

## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## **“World of Work”**
During the year, the charity received a grant totalling £25,000 from Thurrock Borough Council for a further year of its commissioned WORLD OF WORK project (“WoW”).
The principal aim of WoW is to establish a scheme to prepare people with impairments to consider productive employment, be it paid or unpaid.
WoW aims to achieve this by profiling individuals’ capabilities, skills and desires in order to construct a tailored plan to provide relevant basic workplace training, leading to placement in a work environment. WoW supports the individual during their time on the project as appropriate to their needs, and assists individuals in building their CVs, skills and references to build self-confidence and manage their health conditions as appropriate. This enables them to become more work ready. Finally, candidates are inducted into a job club where they can obtain assistance in searching and applying for jobs on-line.
TCIL’s partnership with Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions CIC (TLS) in supporting employability projects and opportunities continued during the year, attracting additional funds into the Borough for the benefit of the community.
Whilst the TCIL/TLS partnership endeavours to move people on, still more needs to be done to channel the experience and evident enthusiasm for work of individuals into appropriate forms of activity, allowing everyone to make a contribution to society no matter what their impairment. What is also apparent is that it is important for the training and coaching provided by TCIL/TLS to address both the aspirations of the individual to ensure that the right form of employment is found, and also that these programmes should be targeted at young people in transition rather than waiting for the institutionalisation of years on benefits to take hold.
The area of supported employment remains a key area for development and plays a critical role in benefitting the mental and physical well-being of the more vulnerable members of the community.
## **Related Parties**
Some Trustees have been recruited from and represent disabled people’s organisations.
The Chief Executive sits as a Board Director of the Thurrock Coalition and a trustee sits as a Board Director of Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions CIC. These relationships are deemed desirable and essential for the fulfilment of both organisations’ objectives.
Two fully independently managed organisations shared our office space and facilities, the Thurrock Coalition, and Thurrock Diversity Network (TDN). TDN is a network based, information sharing and campaigning organisation for disabled people and disabled peoples’ groups and organisations in the Thurrock area which operates from within the office accommodation of TCIL.
The Thurrock Coalition has been formally adopted by Thurrock Council as the User Led Organisation for Thurrock, contracted to provide consultation and co-production services involving the disabled people of Thurrock, their carers and families.
In February 2025, we were joined by Thurrock Citizens’ Advice Bureau in sharing the office space exclusively for 2 days of the week.
TCIL Trustees are cognisant of the Charities Commission paper on Public Service with particular regard to maintaining an arm’s length relationship with the public sector and are satisfied that TCIL is compliant.

## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees policy is to generate current income to meet current expenditure and thus is to hold only sufficient prudent cash reserves to balance out fluctuating cash flows. However, with the continued pressure on funding, particularly from the local authority, longer term fluctuations in cash flow have encouraged the Trustees to keep a prudent level of reserves towards the upper end of the Commission’s guidance.
As a long-term strategy TCIL needs to diversify its income streams and will continue to seek out alternative funding and or implement revenue billable services. Accordingly, TCIL will maintain adequate reserves to fund short falls in income, timing effects and potential restructuring costs. The Trustees objective is to have a minimum of 3 months’ expenditure in reserve.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities and taking advantage of the small companies exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED ACCOUNTS OF THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **(a company limited by guarantee)**
## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Thurrock Centre for Independent Living**
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2025 which are set out on pages 8 to 13.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purpose 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 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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:
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
## 1. **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## a) **Basis of Accounting**
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) published on 16[th] July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention with items recognised at cost of transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## b) **Cash Flow**
The charitable company qualifies as a small company and advantage has been taken of the exemption provided by the SORP (FRS 102) as amended by Bulletin 1 not to prepare a cash flow statement.
- c) **Company Status**
The charity is a private company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. 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. The charity’s registered office is disclosed on page 1.
## d) **Incoming Resources**
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
- e) **Resources Expended**
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
## f) **Fund Accounting**
Restricted funds are grants that are made for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Unrestricted funds comprise income received or generated for charitable purposes but which may be spent at the discretion of the Committee.
Designated funds are those unrestricted funds that have been earmarked by the Board for a specific but not legally binding purpose.
## g) **Fixed Assets**
Fixed Assets are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Equipment, Fixtures and Fittings 33.3% pa on cost

## **THURROCK CENTRE FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025**
- a) **Creditors**
Creditors 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## b) **Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
