KNOWSLEY CARERS CENTRE
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
The main aims of the Carers Centre are to improve the lives of carers and to ensure they a
properly valued and supported. Knowsley Carers Centre is a network member of the Carers
Trust and appreciates the help and guidance provided by them.
We continue receiving funding from KMBC in the form of a 'Lead Organisation to Deliver
Carers Services, contract and the work of the Carers Centre has been continued to be
enhanced. This contract involves sub-contracting services to the Alzheimer's Society Knowsley
and Kirkby Caring Companions Club.
The Carers Centre has seen a higher number of new referrals supported by the service during
this year to previous years. We have managed through publicity, networking, and word of
mouth to find and support hidden carers and provide a much-needed service to them.
The staff have provided a great deal of support to carers during this year including information,
emotional support, advice, and other seNices including counselling, support groups and
benefits advice.
We have also continued to deliver a programme of carer awareness training to staff from other
organisations to raise their awareness of the issues faced by carers.
The carers identification card has proved very beneficial to carers.
The benefits advice service has again provided a much-needed service to carers across the
borough.
We have worked closely with KMBC on the carerfs assessment prO￿sS for carers of an adult
and under the contract we carry out Carers Assessment Triages prior to a carer having a
carers assessment.
The Carers Centre will continue to deliver a high-quality service to carers in Knowsley and is
proud of the support it re￿iVeS from the community.
Through funding from KMBC'S Household Support Fund, we have delivered the food and
friendship sessions and the carers food scheme which have proven to be a lifeline to carers
struggling financially in these difficult times.
The organisation looks forward to the challenges and further achievements of the coming year
and hopes to welcome present and future carers to the Carers Centre.

Total income for the year was £531,492 (2023.. £521,807) of which £42.279 (2023: £35,117)
related to funding for projects upon which restrictions are placed.
Total expenditure for the year was £498,821 (2023: £480,475), leaving a surplus for the year of
£32,671 (2023.. surplus £41,332).
At 31 St March 2024 the charitable company's reserves stood at £360,389 (2023.. £327,718) of

Risk Management
Knowsley Carers Centre holds a tendered contract with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough
Council (KMBC), to deliver carers services in Knowsley. The original contract period is 3 July
2017 to 2 July 2022, which was extended until 30 June 2024. It looks like the contract will be
extended until 31 St January 25 while a new tender for carers services is being developed and
actioned. This contract forms the main funding for the charity and the services we deliver to
carers. Full consideration is given by the Trustees of Knowsley Carers Centre to the
implications and risks associated with entering contracts for the service delivery. The Trustees
maintain oversight of the charity's performance against the operational delivery requirements of
the contract. We have identified any potential loss or reduction in the contract funding from

KNOWSLEY CARERS CENTRE
TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
KMBC as a serious risk to the organisation and the carers we support. Strategies are
continually being put in place to mitigate against any serious financial and operational risks
associated with potential loss of, or reduction in, contract income from KMBC. The Trustees
have identified the main risks to the organisation are the following.
dependency on limited income sources
potential termination, or significant reduction, of grant funding or loss of contracts
turbulent economic or political environment
potential lack of ability to continue to deliver services to carers
The Trustees are continually putting strategies in place to manage the above risks to the
charity.
The trustees have given full consideration to and reviewed at board meetings the risks and
implications of entering into the contract and are satisfied that its terms are in the charity's best
interests, including in relation to:
its finances
achieving full cost-recovery
remaining solvent for at least 5 years
sub-contracting arrangements
independence from KMBC (as the funder)
fitting with the mission statement and objectives of the charity
meeting the needs of current and future beneficiaries
its reputation
The Trustees receive regular reports from the manager (contract lead) at board meetings, who
informs the trustees of the charity's performance against the delivery outputs and outcomes of
the contract.
Minutes of the meetings held with KMBC, statistical reports and outputs and financial reports
regarding the contract are circulated to the board members and discussed at board meetings.
The Trustees will continue to review and evaluate the risks to the organisation.
The main risks to which the charity is exposed as identified by the Trustees have been
considered and systems are continually being established to mitigate those risks.
Reserves Policy
The aim of Knowsley Carers Centre reserves policy is to ensure the ongoing and future
activities are reasonably protected from unexpected changes in income and expenditure. The
Trustee Board reviews the level of reserves on an annual basis in line with its Reserves Policy.
The Trustees of Knowsley Carers Centre have examined the requirements for reserves to
ensure the charity can meet all its obligations and have a three-month running cost reserve.
This means the charity aims to maintain a level of reseNes equivalent to three months,
essential operating costs which currently amount to approximately £186,162. This is made up
of £115,905 running costs and £70,257 redundancy payments. We currently have £319,561
(2023:£285,945) unrestricted reserves which is adequate to cover the essential running costs.
PLANS FOR FUTURE
The aims of Knowsley Carers Centre for the future are to maintain its current servI￿s, develop
new services for carers and to increase the number of carers it supports and registers. We will
actively target the hard to reach and marginalised hidden carers who live in isolation. We also

and Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items
recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS
102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the
charitable company has adequate reserves to continue in operational existence for the
foreseeable future. The Trustees are confident that the levels of liquidity and free reserves
will not affect the charity's operations. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are the charity's free reserves available for the trustees to apply in
accordance with the charitable company's Charitable objectives.
Designated funds are funds set aside by the Trustees out of unrestricted funds for specific
future purposes.
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor. All
restricted funds are accounted for as restricted income and expenditure for the purposes is
charged to the fund.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient
certainty of re￿Ipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of
income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies comprise of donations and general grants which are recognised in
the accounts when received, with the ex￿ptIOn of known legacies which are accounted for
when their receipt is certain.
Income from charitable activities is recognised on an accrual's basis ex￿pt for grants
receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is
confirmed by the donor.
Income from investment relates to bank interest received and is recognised when the
amount is certain.

and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings
in the Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to
unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.
Expenditure on charitable activities relates to the operation of the charity comprising of
direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company. Support and
governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also
compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report.
These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been
approved by the charitable company.

overdrafts.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments,
and Section 12 '0ther Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial
instruments.

becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

statements, when there is a legally enfor￿able right to set off the recognised amounts and
there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially
measured at transaction pri￿ including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at
amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future
re￿iptS discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable
within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at
transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a
market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not
amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest
rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities

purposes only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation
afforded by tax legislation and are not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling
within those exemptions.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be
relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where
the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where
the revision affects both current and future periods.
