OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and alms
;
The Northam Care Trust's primary mission is to support people with learning and physical disabilities in having choice and control to achieve the best possible quality of life, evidenced by real quality outcomes and supported by our passion for excellence. This mission is met through the provision of care and support in a person centred way by dedicated staff teams within our residential Lodges, in our day and community services based at Rose Hill and in local communities where the people we support access local services and from April 2020 in our supported living services where the Trust offers the care and support and housing providers offer the tenancies and manage the properties, We also offer domiciliary care at home services to older people and people with dementia. Our residential lodges are domestic in nature to ensure that they are the clients' homes, rather than an institutional environment. Excellent communication, respect, dignity, engagement, support for carers and families and a set of values and behaviours linked to organisational excellence all underpin our work and add value with personalisation at the core. Our vision is a society where everyone has equal access to the same rights and opportunities. A society where people with learning disabilities and additional needs are able to exercise full citizenship with all its tights and responsibilities, where every person is empowered and supported as necessary including people with profound and multiple disabilities and complex health needs to safely live their lives to their full potential within their communities.
More information on the activities of the charity can be viewed on our website www.northamcaretrust.co.uk
Significant activities Details of all of the charity's activities during the year can be found below under "Achievements and performance”.

Achievement and performance
- Charitable activities .
During the year under review we are proud to report that we have managed to achieve high standards of care and support for all of our clients. This was evidenced and underpinned in our most recent CQC Comprehensive Unannounced Inspection in February 2018 for our residential Lodges where we achieved solid Goods in the five key areas and an excellent overall report. Our CQC Registered Manager, Jo Burke, continues to provide leadership to our residential services, well supported by Service Managers, support teams, housekeeping and catering teams and our maintenance team. We have retained many of our experienced and highly trained members ofstaff and continued to recruit permanent employees to reduce our use of agency and relief staff. We have continued to provide excellent training opportunities and increasing numbers of our staff are achieving NVQs, the Care Certificate, professional qualifications in a range of disciplines and other awards. The Charity has moved to eLearning and electronic monitoring and care planning as planned within our modernisation programme and evidenced in our new and improved marketing materials. The families of the clients living in the Lodges think very highly of the support offered through our dedicated and skilled staff teams,
We continue to expand our day opportunities and community services under the auspices of Rose Hill Community Projects and Outreach Services and are seeing an ever increasing demand from local people for seven day per week services. We recetve a great deal of praise for the support we deliver and our thanks go to our staff for their enthusiasm, energy and passion for their work. Our transition work with Pathfields and Lampard Schools is a strong feature of our work in helping young people to transition into adult services through quality day opportunities. We continue to work in ". partnership with the nine primary schools in the Atlantic Coast Cooperative Trust and with the Atlantic Racquet Centre in Bideford. .
We commenced our Supported Living developments in early 2020 and appointed Thomas Naughton as Supported Living CQC Registered Manager in January 2020. The CQC registered our Supported Living and Domiciliary Care personal care services in April 2020 just as COVID impacted on society and the Trust managed to continue building this work throughout COVID, attracting new business and increasing our income. We have developed excellent links with housing investment organisations and housing associations and this added increased value to our work. We have invested in our domiciliary care support to older people living at home including those with dementia and we view this asmassively important for the Trust's future.
During the period of this report, the Trust continued to develop excellent relationships with local authority commissioners in Devon and latterly in Cornwall and we are seen as a significant provider of a range of services across a service continuum. We work collaboratively with Devon CC, Cornwall CC and the NHS. We also have excellent relationships with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and value the work of our CQC Inspector. The good outcome of our first inspection of our Supported Living and Domiciliary Care personal care services will feature in the reporting period 2021-2022. We have continued to develop personalised services for clients including reviews of care plans, improving and investing ‘in our buildings and external environments, Our rooms and garden areas reflect individual personalities and choices. Our purchase of Eye Gaze Technology in 2018 has continued to assist the ability of our clients without speech to communicate their choices. Our Communications and Sensory Coordinator has also worked on adding additional communication aids using a range of technologies.
We continue to make significant investments in upgrading the quality and health and safety of our buildings and equipment through our much valued and dedicated maintenance team support (this leads to responsive problem solving and savings) and in developing our external areas with personalisation and the enjoyment and health and wellbeing of our clients our main priority. We have reviewed policies and procedures and continue to work to set aside the budgets needed to ensure we maintain high standards in future years. We appointed a dedicated Health and Safety Officer during the period of this report and that added value to our work.
We also agreed to invest in a Quality and Improvements Manager as part of our Senior Operational Management Team and this will feature more prominently in our reporting period 2021-2022.

The Northam Care Trust
Report of the Trustees , for the Year Ended 31 March 2021 eee We have continued to invest in staff pay and conditions and we achieved our aim of completing this work by April 2020. COVID has added to the difficulties of staff recruitment over a longer period than we all expected but the Trust has coped well with this and been involved in joint initiatives in attracting new staff, We have had particular success with the Government's Kickstart Scheme to get younger people into work during COVID and we were awarded 40 placements in October 2020 at the very start of the Scheme. Our support for families and carers has continued over the year by Teams and Zoom video meetings and correspondence due to COVID and we continue to look at ways of further developing this work. We know from feedback from families that this type of consultation and signposting is now more important than ever. To this end all parents, families and carers are communicated with regularly by the CEO and our approach to inclusiveness and transparency underpins this work and collaboration. Following our first annual conference for carers and families in Westward Ho! in 2019, we developed a Carers Voice Toolkit and put this into place in June 2020. It is an agreement on co-production between staff, clients, carers and families.
Our marketing development has increased with new brochures for services and a recognition of The Northam Care Trust brand across the social care sector. We have extended our social media work and fully recognise the importance of this in marketing the importance of what we do. The Trust also appeared on BBC TV Spotlight, ITV and radio during the period of this report contributing to recruitment initiatives and raising awareness of the difficulties faced by providers, families and other carers during COVID when face to face contact was reduced. This was very hard for the families of the people we support in our residential lodges who rely so much on face to face communication. Our staff did everything possible to maintain contact with families through a variety of different mediums. We also continue to improve our website.
The Trust has managed COVID well and high praise needs to go to all our staff in making the sacrifices required in keeping our clients and of course each other safe,
Fundraising activities
Our local event fundraising efforts and the role of our professional fundraiser were affected by COVID during this financial year but we were the recipient of Government COVID linked grant income offered to providers across the social care sector and distributed and monitored by Devon CC in our case. .
All fundraising activities undertaken by or on behalf of the charity are managed by the Trustees or the staff of the charity. No commercial participators have been used during the year and the fundraising was not bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising or any voluntary standard of fundraising.
The charity has monitored fundraising activities and has not received any complaints about any activities for the purpose of fundraising.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Financial position The statement of financial activities for the year showsa net deficit of £10,481 (2020 - surplus of£44,069) for the year. This comprises a net surplus of £14,319 (2020 - £37,913) from unrestricted funds (general charitable activities), a net deficit of £34,317 (2020 - £1,239) from designated funds and a net surplus of £9,517 (2020 - £7,395) in relation to restricted funds, Total funds held as at 31 March 2021 were £1,600,654 (2020 - £1,611,135). This includes restricted funds of£48,668 (2020 - £36,393). Designated funds were used to contribute to the growth of the charity in the year.
:
Our Lodges residential fees are calculated on a full cost recovery basis and are continuously under review with Devon County Council and other local authorities with a view to ensuring they cover the true cost of care. Devon County Council were proactive in 2019/20 in reviewing the fees of clients in our residential Lodges where they have major financial accountability and we were grateful for fee increases to better meet individual need and this assisted further negotiations in this reporting period 2020/21. The Trustees agree that the charity remains as a going concern and has adequate resources to continue to fund the activities of the charity. The charity continues to run as efficiently as possible to offer high quality care to clients even in the environment of Goverment and local authority budget cuts as well as looking for further opportunities in the future to develop services within an expanding continuum to bring in extra income and spread overheads further to create more efficiencies but still spending our income at the points of real need . on our clients.
Substantial donations and fundraising efforts make a big difference to our finances. Continued support from local fundraising groups reduced significantly during COVID but we were able to achieve some important grants linked to our work during COVID on adding value to services and developing some extended projects. The Charity is fortunate to have low property costs, however if the properties were not owned or leased on favourable terms and the Charity were required to pay a market rent, there would be a substantial reduction in any surplus generated. We recognise that our Supported Living work with housing providers provides a model for social care where the Trust provides the care and support without property responsibilities.
New guidelines on staff leave linked to COVID impacied on the Trust in respect of staff being able to carry this forward as they were needed to cover increased demand for Supporting clients, In turn, this impacted on the increase in holiday pay accrued in the year reported.
The Charity holds personal accounts for residents within the Charity's accounting system. These accounts receive benefits on behalf of the clients and enable them to obtain money as they would from a normal bank account in order to purchase personal items and to pay for holidays and excursions. Residents’ personal money is held in a separate bank account with Barclays Bank ple and is completely independent of the Charity's own assets.
We are grateful for the excellent work of our Finance Director, Katy Kerley in overseeing our financial budgeting and monitoring and planning our financial future in collaboration with our CEO as our Executive Team.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Future plans We have identified our priorities for the next few years and have considered timescales and sound strategies for our plans. Our priorities for the Charity are as follows:
-
To continue to sustain and improve our current registered residential accommodation for 25 people with profound and toultiple learning and physical disabilities and complex health needs in the three Lodges with the focus on excellence through bespoke, personalised support in individualised environments. To continue to work with social care and NHS commissioners and of course with families.
-
Excellent day service opportunities and facilities for current and more diverse client groups. We will continue to look at expanding our services into other parts of North Devon and adding value to our Rose Hill support and independence ~ training activities. We will pursue the development of new services in local communities involving creative, sporting, _ health and wellbeing, horticulture, pony therapy and catering projects and look to work in partnership wherever possible. This work is also important to families needing respite across a seven day week including evenings.
-
Supported Living opportunities in local communities for people with learning, physical and other disabilities and including mental health needs and working with housing organisations through their investment and/or housing association arms in supporting tenants and the further development of an excellent and responsive service continuum. Supported Living will become a major feature of our work and income going forward based on our involvement with commissioners in meeting new contractual Frameworks and in providing high quality support for the tenants. * Domiciliary Care at Home Services for older people and people with dementia. COVID has reinforced the importance of this in keeping older people out of hospital and in keeping hospital beds flowing. This will also become a major feature of our service continuum and a major source of income plus developing Enabling services for people with learning disabilities living in their own homes but needing support in accessing community based facilities and services.
-
We will continue to expand our work on carers' and families support and consultation. “ We will also focus on Employment and Training opportunities for people with learning disabilities including the possible development ofa training cafe in North Devon. * Continue to financially invest in our growing staff group and in their training and skills development. To improve pay and conditions and other benefits within The Trust's means.
-
To invest in the skills of a Quality and Improvements Manager to assist the organisation to raise and meet our internal standards and achieve our quality measurements and outcomes for the people we support, our staff and the Charity. This fits into a workforce investment triangle also including Human Resources and Training and Development.
The Northam Care Trust has managed this COVID impacted year really well and has kept all our clients and staff safe. The Trust will continue to work to invest in its current services and develop new ones within our agreed strategic and business planning and so build on our sound financial and service platfonn in N Devon with the objective of also working in other parts of Devon within an approximate 25 mile radius of our current services and in N Cornwall following submitting a successful contract tender to Cornwall CC to facilitate this. The Trustees recognise that this requires a massive continuing commitment to ongoing development and to still considering collaborative working but without losing the Charity's identity and excellent reputation as a local provider. Also, we still have a significant opportunity to develop on land we own adjacent to Rose Hill. We are curtently talking to relevant bodies about a decision on what we do with the land to enable us to maximise both capital and revenue income in the interests of clients, the organisation and local communities. We will also need to address the need for new, modern offices for our Central Support Team. We are looking forward to an exciting future with the stability and longevity achieved so far and required for a high quality, competitive and flexible social care Organisation in a sector that still requires investment from the Government alongside the NHS.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concer 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 concer for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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 a Report ofthe Independent Auditors 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 ftom 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. - 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:
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, including how fraud may occur by enquiring of management of its own consideration of fraud. We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. As part of this discussion we identified the interna! controls established to Mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and how management monitor these processes. In common with all audits under UK ISAs we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the threat of management override. This work included testing the appropriateness ofjournal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative ofa potential bias; and evaluating the rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of operations.
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to these laws and regulations, including fraud,
We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Health and Safety Act, UK Companies Act, Charity's legislation and Care Quality Commission regulations.
We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting correspondence.
Our tests included agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, reading the minutes of those charged with governance and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with becomelaws and awareregulationsof it. is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www. frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
The Northam Care Trust is a private company registered with the Charity Commission, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The. charitable company’s registered company number, registered . charity number | and registered office address can be found on page 1.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
2, ACCOUNTING POLICIES
;
Basis of preparing the financial statements
_ The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial - Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention,
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and remain unchanged from the previous period, and also have been consistently applied within the same accounts.
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to control its spread have materially and adversely affected the charity's operations. The impact of the pandemic, as well as the effectiveness of government and central bank responses, remain unclear at this time. It is not possible to reliably estimate the duration and severity of these consequences, as well as their impact on the financial position and results of the charity for future periods. The trustees are optimistic that necessary measures can be taken to ensure the viability of the charity and so they have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting as set out below.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grants in respect of capital expenditure are treated as deferred income and are credited to the income and expenditure account over the estimated useful life of the assets to which they relate,
Grants of a revenue nature are credited to the income and expenditure account in the same period as the related expenditure.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Governance costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the costof any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Allocation and apportionment of costs .
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent . with the use of resources, for example, allocating staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage,
