AGE UKSUThON REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Icontd... Objectives and Activitios for Public Benefit Icontd... Demand lor Age UK Sutton services is consislentty higher than found at periods prior lo th8 Cost-of- Living Crisis as well as the Covid pandemic. At the same time. the recourse for remedy, foT example saving money on energy bills or negotiating housing costs. has become MO difficult. A significant minority of the people who seek our support can be helped with short term solutions such as cost of living grants and govemment energy payments. However. there are few longer-temi solutions available. leading to people finding IheTVTselves trapped in a cycle of tTeed and short-tefm supporL Age UK Sutton is working hard to address the immediate needs of local older people, and lo raise awareness Df the ongoing, longer term and emerging challenges faced in tmjr (x>mmunity. Lasting answers are some way off. and so our ServIS remain stretched. and our influencing role is becoming Increasing importanl. To mitigate the impact of more people V+ryth higheT needs asking Age UK Sutton for help the charity continues to innovale to reach more people. We continue to use our'self help guides lo assisl people with the application prOsS for certain benefts. and have plans to develop rnore guides. and to pilot events and clinics to assist more people to'self help with expert assistance. We have also introduced a Welcotne and Infonnalion team which uses volunteers to support the Welcome and Inforfflation Officer to triage enquiries into Ihe Communty Support, and Age UK office. who are then able to respond quickly to enquiries. support people with simple infoTTnation and signposting or sdledule beneficiaries to be supported by for more involved sUppt. Age UK Sutton continues to work to manage Ihe rising demand for suppori. driven by the issues set out above. and also because other services. induding some ststutory services, are either dosing, or limiting access due to their own capaciiy. The leadership team is working dosely with the wider system in Sutton to analyse and consider solutions to these systemic challenges, and to consider how best the organisation can respond to demand within limited resources. Age UK Sutton is proud to play a part in finding answers and influencing others, as a consistent expert voice on the needs of older people within the community. and the opporiunities in the system. Age UK Sutton's Key Perfomiance Indicators {KPls) for the year 2023-2024 As in the previous year, due to the demand generated through the Cost-of-Living crisis, year-long KPIS w8re not set. as it was recognised that needs continuèd to change and evolve.

This number records the number of volunteers active at an point durin the ear. These outcomes are a result of income maximisation work (assisting older people to secure benefit entitlements and save money e.g. on bills).

No cost has been apportioned in respect of the time given by our volunteers in accordance with the SORP. Achlevement and Perfomjance Over the course of the year 2023-2024. Age UK Sution directty delivered a service to 3,236 unique individual people (2022- 2023= 4,144). Of these 3.236 unique individuals. 2.082 w8re supported by Age UK Sutton's core servi.

Although demand has remained ¢i)n5i5tently high since Covid. and at a level much higher than pre-covid times. demand during 2023-24 has declined from the previous peak of 2022-23. However. the demand during this year is still higher than our planned staff capacity to support wth all teams reaching their higher levels of demand for support for numbers of clients being supported. many of which present to Age UK Sution wilh increasingly complex issues and lives. Additionally. the need being fad reflects the growing challenges in our communities driven by the cost-of4iving crisis, and Ihe ¢orreswnding reduclion in availability of other support Service, both charitable and statutory. Age UK Sution continues to respond to the huge challenges presented by the crisis by working to become more efficient. enabling self-help when possible, and utilising the strengths of (Njr staff, vdunteers. and networks effeclively.

Achlevement and Performance Icontd... 3.IM4 contacts were through a home or face to face visit (2022-2023: 3,202). Cjue to staff capacity for offering home visits, we have increased the number of fa tr) face visits through drop in or in the office. Our staff intelligence indicales that contact our one to one contact time (either at home or in the office) tends to take longer, as c1umStanceS for individuals seeking support are becoming more complex. entrenched, and challenging to solve. Age UK Sutton is undertaking initiatives to develop deeper insight inlo pattems of activity rating to different support needs and collecting information to provide a deeper understanding of our clients, needs and wishes. as well as Iheir preferences around mMunication. health. and wellbeing. 1.499 (46 Y.) of Ihe people supported by Age UK Sutton were new to Age UK Sutton's servicès and activities.

AGE UK SUThON REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 Icontd... Reserves and Investrnents The Twstees have agreed a framework for determining the minimum level of reserves considered necessary to safeguard the Charity's solvency. The calculation is based upon a rtsk assessment of the Charity's finan(xal positi and outlook. considering 8dditional costs and liabilities associated with the unlikely event of winding down the Charity's activities. The Twstees have determined that the Charity should hold a minimum level of general unrestrtcted reserves of 34 months operating costs on the basis that this would. in Ihè worst-case scenario, cover the costs of safely closing the Charity. General unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2024 were £414.621, including £90.000 designated for the Pension Liability- Investment Policy and Porfomianco Age UK Sutton has a portfolio of investments manag8d within Brewin Dolphin 'Diversified Risk. inveslment stralegy.

Irregularities. induding fraud. are instan5 of non-compliance wlh laws and regulations. We design procedures in line wth 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 d8tai18d below. Explanation as to what extent the audlt was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud The objectives of our audit in resped of fraud. are" to identrfy and asses5 the risks of material misststement of the financial statements due lo fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Ihrough designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed rtsks: and to respond appropriat81y to instances of fraud or susp8cted fraud identified during the audit. However. the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud r8sts with both management and those charged with govemancè of the tharitable c(ynpany. Our approach was as follows: The engagement pather selected staff for the audit vtho had appropriate knoYAedge and who had the required competence and skills to identity or r8cognis8 non-compliance with laws and regulations. We assessed the risk of irregularities as part of our audit planning, and ongoing review, including those due to fraud, management override was identified as a significant fraud risk. This is due to thè ability to bypass controls through inappropriate expenditure and accounting policies adopled. Completeness of grant income wa5 deemed a signfficant risk. Additionally as some income reiVed is restricted in its use. a significant risk was identified regarding the correct classification of income between reslricted and unrestricted funds and Ihat the expenditure against Ihi5 income was in line wilh any spe(xal restrictions. We obtsined an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitsble company and we considered the most signifi(xnt are the Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011. the Charity SORP. and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We (x)nsidered how th8 charitable company fA)mplies with these requirements by discussions with management and ihose charged with govemance. We enquired of management and Ihose dlarged wilh governance as to any know instances of non- compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Consideration was also made of the inlemal controls in plarR to mitigate Iho identified risks. We assessed the control environnienL documents.ng the systems, controls and processes adopted. The audit approach incorporated a combination of controls where appropriate. anamical review and substantive procedures involving tests of transactions and balances. Any irregularities noted were disCUed wilh management and additional corroboraiive evidence was obiaineLI as requir8d. To address the risk of fraud through managemenl override Y. performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships" tested joumal entries to identify any unusual transactions; assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicab-ve of potential bias. and reviewed the disclosures within the financial statements to ensure they meet the requirements of ihe accounting standards and relevant legislalion. 16
AGE UK suON INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AGE UK surroN FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 To address the risk of completeness of Incorr we" performed analytical prOdureS to identrfy any unusual or unexpected relationships. along with comparison to budget. tested a sample of grants to supporting documentation confirming income correctly accounted for; reviewed donations and gifts r1Ved around the year end, ensuring cut-off correctly applied., and agreed deferred income to supporting documentation. To address the risk of classifjcation of income between restricted and unrestricted we.. agreed a sample of income recorded in the nominal ledger to source documentation to ensure any restrictions were correctly identified. agreed a sample of expenses incUed to ensure that they had been allocated to the correct fund" and obtained and reviewed fund analysis workings to ensure that the calculations were correct and agreed to the accounting records. There are inherent limitations in our audit prOdureS described above. The more removed the laws and regulations are from the financAal statements. the less likety it is that we would become aware of non- compliance. Auditing stsndards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal corresponden. if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect that those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate cOncealEnt of collusion. We communicate with those charged with govemance regarding. among other matters. the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit Use of our report This report is made solely to the Charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not Fjossible for the company to obtain SLJfficient infomiation to enable It to account for the scheme as a defined ben8fit scheme. Therefore il accounts ft)r the scheyne as a defined crmtribulion stheme. The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This. together wilh documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. set out the fram8work for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK. The scheme is dassified as a'last-man standing arrangemenf. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participaling employers, obligations rf those employers are unable to meet Iheir share of the scheme deficit followng withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally requid to meet their share of the scheme d8ficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from Ihe scheme. A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carried oul at 30 September 2020. This valuation showed assets of £800.3m. liabilities of £831.9m and a deficit of £31.6m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employers to pay addknal contributn5 to the scheme as fotlows..
