ement
The organisation is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated
th
on 11 January 2001 and registered as a charity on 12 February 2001. The company was
established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the
company and is govemed under its Articles of Association. The trustees of the Charity, who are
also the Directors of the Company, delegate responsibility for the day-to-day running of the charity
to the Chief Executive Officer, Anndeloris Chatxn.
Recruitment and Appolntment of Trustees
Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meetlng of the charity. The artides of association
specify a minimum level of representation of members of the black and minority ethnic
communities and also of carers or former carers.

The Company's objects are:
To relieve the mental and physical distress among the black carers of people who are in need of
care and who ara residents in Bristol by:
1. Providlng infomiation, advlce, training, outreach. and development services and
2. Providing a forum which brings together carers in order to determine their needs and
3. The provision of advocacy for ServI￿S relevant to the needs of black carers.
The use of the term °Black" refers to Caribbean, African, South Asian, and other minority ethnic
people who share a common experience of dlscrimination in the United Kingdom on account of
their colour or racial origin.
Ensurlng our work delivers our aims
Bristol Black Carers have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general
guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our fijture
activities.
8ristol Black Carers Ihrough their unlque approach called G.E.M.S. provide information, advice,
advocacy, support, empowerment, and outreach to Carers (adult, young adults, and children) and
Iheir cared-for, which sometime5 indudes their support network. We support carerslservice users
to access specific and mainstream health and social care services both physically and emotionally
through advocacy, referrals, a5SiSting With financial issues and signposting depending on their
need at the time of contsct.
We work on educating our Garers, the cared-for, family members, communities, professionals, and
organisats'ons that the role of a carer is an additional role for the individual. It should not be tsken
for granted because if they did not carry out this role for the cared-for, health and social care would
not be able to cope.
Our events and activities help improve quality of life, emotional and physical wellbeing of our
carerslservice users as we maintaln their dignity wlth respect and trust, which enables them to
retain their independence and reduce their loneliness and isolation.
Bristol Black Carers gives the carers a voice through participation In consultations, research, and
conferences.

Pro￿rty
Service dellvery
It is acknowledged that the Trustees are fully responsible for the instigation and maintenance of the
Bristol Black Carers Risk Management.
Procedures are in place to ensure Complian￿ with health and safety of stsff, volunteers, Carers and
visitors. These procedures are periodlcally revlewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of
the charity.
Financial Review
The charity reports a deficit of £31.948 on unrestricted funds during the year (2024 deficit of £25,123)
after temporarily utilising reserves to continue cerlain activities. 2024-25 was a very challenging year
for the charity, and funded work was delayed due to organlsational difficulties.
The stsff and new board of trustees are prioritising funding applications to contlnue Ihe activitles and
contribute to the core costs of the charity, and also working to leverage consultancy ino)me and
crowdfunding to address the accumulated deficit on unrestricted funds. They are confident that the
charity will remain a going 0)n￿rn in the future.
Reserves Pollcy
The charity has a Reserves Policy whereby the unrestrictgd funds not committed should be six months
of resour(xs expended on running costs, which is estimated as £100,000 {2024 £103,847).
The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requlrements of Ihe tharity and the trustees feel
confidenl that at this level they would be able to o)ntinue the charity's current activities.
The genefal funds at the end of the year were In deficlt by £12,602 (2024 surplus of £19,345). 11 Is
planned to generate sufficient surpluses over time to ensure there are sufficient free reserrfes to
provide financial security and operalional flexibilty.

Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) are

are required to:
Select suitable accounting policles and then apply them consislently;

Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
State whether applicable accounting stsndards and statements of recommended

information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom
governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation
