The financial 5tatetnents have been prepared in accordance wilh the accounting poliaes set out in note 1 to the
financial slalemenls and comply with the chaiity's deed of trust, the Charities Act 2011 and "Acwunting and
R6POrting by Gharitie5". Statement ol Recommended Piactice applicable to charities preparing Iheir 8¢counts in

Objectives and actÉvities
The objects dause In the ttU5t deeds is as follows..
To relieve the stress or olh8r charilable need of car8ts by the prnvis￿n, or th8 aksistance An the pffjwsic>n. of
respite and othèrhelp forthem and/orthose for whom they affè caring."
The recent censu5 undertaken in 2021 shows that there are currently 49.322 unpaid carer5 In Dorset who are
looking after a family meTnber. friend. or neighboui_ This Can be due lo long-temi physical or rnenlal ill health,
disabilrty. or problems relating to old age. The figure has risen by 17°A since 2001 when there were 42,000
unpaid careTS in Dorset.
The effects of the cost-of-living crisis have had a direct impact on carers. The high cost of electricity and gas
along with increased mortgage rates and food inflation ha5 been challenging. Many caTers are having lo make
difficult choices about whether to eal or heat their homes. and some are getting into debt to manage their living
eosls. A UK-wide 5Utvey of 3,300 carers ￿nduct&￿ by Carers UK in 2022 revealed.. l 6 unpaié carers a￿ in

bills has mor8 than doubled sinGe last yèar Nearfy 8% of unpald Ca￿rS in Tr￿¢pl of Catsrs Allowan￿ are now
using food banks lo Gope (Carers UK. State of Caring SuNey Feb 2022}.
The impact of the cosl-of-liwng uisis has caused applications from caieis for help and support across all our
service5 to more than double. Overall. we have been able to provide 713 grants to carers during the period
repiesenting a large increase of almost 48°/o on the figure of 462 awards during the previous ye81. Thè average
value of individual grants decreased by just under 26°1ts from £316.29 to £235.58. This decrease reflected our
need to reduce the size of each indiwdual grant to enable us to continue to support as many carers 3s possible.
Our laigest service is now our Counselling 4 CaTefS Service. Due to the unprecedented increase in the number
ol applications received from caiers seeking counselling support the cost of this Service has grown by 211¢A over
the 185t yeai. The cost of this increase was oftset by loGal authority lunding meaning that the overall Increase in
cost was ieducèd to around 160°kn.
Our holiday horne continues to be a re50unding success. 11 has been fvll during the whole of the holiday 5ea50n
enabling 70 carers to benefit from a mucKneeded short break al an average cost of £193.72 per carer. This was
the 5eeond full year that we have been able to provide this facilty to carers. The feedbad( we have re￿iVed
shows that the prowsion of this 5enrice has had a positive impact on the physical and mental well-being of
carers.
We were pleased lo be able to introduce a new Benefits Application Service to 5UPPOrt carers in applyin9 for
eligible 5t3te benefits during this accounting period. Attendan￿ Allowanee in pariicular has historically been
underclaimed by elderly people but rft can make a significant difference in people's lives
During our pilot
programme. we enabled 35 carers to successfully claim state benefits fof themselves, or for those they (xre for,
at an average cost of £73.50 per carer. We wll be extending this service lo help many more carers.
The lolal spending of the charity on management and adminisiTation infftased on the prewous year by 9.4°￿.
There were iedLJCtions in certain areas but the main Ghange on the prewous year was a 24'k Inorease in Staff
costs. The two main elements here wère the recnJitmeTrt of a fourth member to the team in support of our,
achieved, aim to help More caieis and the award of pay increases to our staff knlly in line with cost-of-living
increases. which the trustees felt to be important. 11 is pleas¥ng to record a ftjrther increase of £16.196 In direct
grant funding expenditure during the yeai, representing an Increase of 10.601ts on the 2022 figure. As prewously.
the trustees continue to closely tnonitor the administratwe costs of the tharity with a view to keeping these costs
at an acceptable level. but also ali9ned to our prionties to provide an extensive grant making programmè and to
deliver direct services to carers.

THE LEONARDO TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Iiustèes would again like to take this opportunty of expressing our sincere gratitude lo our Staff, volunteers,
donors and supporters who have madè this work possible. Cost of liwng pressures are still extremely high at the
dale ol this report though, thankfully, inflation levèls have fallen a lrttle from the double-digil figures at the lime of
our prewous report. Many carers ale amongst those least able to cope with these extrerne finanual pressures
and it is therefore so very pleasing that out team has been able to. again, Increase our support during these very
difficult times.
Public Benefit
The Iwstees have paid due iegard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the
charity should undertake. The paiagraphs in Ihis report set oul our activtties. achievements. and performance
during the year. which are directty related to the objedives and purpose5 foi which the charity exists. The charity
achieves ils principal objectives and purposes through services to any members of the public in Dorset who are.
or have recently been. unpaid carers and who have needs arising frtsm, or relating lo. their caring activitie5.
Identically namod Trust
In 2016. The Iru5tees became awarè. via public shale dealings di5d95ed on the internet. of a second
organisation named The Leonardo Tnjsl. The Trustees made enquiries at Ihat lime and understand that this is a
non-chaiitable family trust constituted in 2015 under Isle of Man law. The trustee5 would like to darify that this
Isle of Man trust has no ￿nnect￿n whatsoevei wrth the chaiity or its activffjues.
Achievements and perfornianc•
Financial review
The tolal Income for the chanty was £358,74212021r22". £ 314.5961. There was a net decreasÉ in funds for the
period of £26.81312021122'. net increase of £34.3381. un￿alised losses on charty investments of £41,166 was a
major contributor to the decrease In funds. The results for the year and the state of the charity's affairs are shown
in the attached Statement of Finanaal ActMties_
Reserves Polity
The nel assetslunrestricted funds of the Charity stood at £1,054,384 at 31st March 2023. a decrease of 2.5°/o on
the figure of £1,081.197 at 31st March 2022. During the yeai. approximately 82°A of the income ol the charity
arose from a donation from a single benélador and Ihe S￿e and consistency ol this annual support has allowed
the trustees to continue to make the very significant resoufce commitments mentioned earlier In this report and
also to plan. in the Short to medium tetm. for the mainlenanfje ol actiwty at these levels. The truslees have been
made aware that Iheie will not be a further substantial donation from this benefactor during the year ending 311t
March 2024. This will. obvioLJsly. have an impad on the financial posibon ol the charity. at least over the short tts
mediurn term. As a result. the tmstees have undèrtaken a cornprehensive review of our activities and a
programrne of ralionalisalion of their future operations 15 now under way to ensure that the Charity can continue
to apply resources as extensively and effectively as possible. With these Ghanges, the trustees believe that they
continue to maintain their current level of financial support to carefs over that short to rnedium lem. Based
upon outgoings in this year under re￿ew. and projected incotne and outgoings foi the 2023124 yeai, rt is their
opinion that there are suffiaent reserves within the charity to prowde operational funds foi a minimum period of
operab.on between a further 2 and 3 years. The Trustees keep this réserves policy under quarterly review and
this OPiT)ion on that minimum peiiod has not changed from that expressed in Ihe 2022 accounts. The nel
outgoing funds for the year of £26,81312022". Incoming funds of £34.3381 have been deducted from the general
reserves.
The trustees are of the opinion that the charity's contributK)n towards the support and wellbeing of carers across
the whole of Dorset is continuing 10 9row and is a very itnportant contributor to that overall SYPPDrt. The trustees
remain ready to consider adapta1￿On5 to our future levels of support should it become dear that becomes
necessary. However, the trustees are now vÈry actively engaged In Identifying. securing and adrninislrating future
source5 of significant funding with a view to secunng future financial resources in support of Dorset carers and to
maintain that support for as long as possible into Ihe fuiure.

THE LEONARDO TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Sources of Funding
The charty has been very significantly supported by annual donats.ons from a single benefactor since 2015 and a
further donation of quoted shares worth £294.115 was re￿iVed from the benefactor in Seplernbèr 2022. Since
the oharity is unlikely to receive a further annual donation in the 2024 year. the trustees are now very actively
engaged in securing the longer-terrn fLrture of the Chanty as recognised in the Reserves Policy seditsn above. In
the me3ntime, hopefully shorter-terrn iationalisation measures are being put in place until such time as the
outcome of the trustee funding review 15 dearer.
Risk assessment
The Charity Manager is designated a5 heath and safety officer. and maintains the various iegisters required to
record and rnonitor risks. The pnnupal risks to the actiwties of the Gharity that have been identified by the
Iruslee5 relale to..
al Voluntsry income falling below foreca5L'
The Leonardo Trust is almost exdusively dependent upon the charity founder and benefactor foT ongoing
income. This income. In the form of share donations. has been prowded at various times SIn￿ the establishment
of the Charity in 2001 and, in recent years. such donations have been made on an annual basis and often
commensurate with the annual outgoings ol the charty. Future similar donations cannot be guaranteed. In the
event of such irTrcome ceasing In the lutuie. the chanty would be able to rely upon existing reserves. and limited
other incorne. to continue adivibes at the current level for a further 2 to 3 years, after which aclivilies would either
need lo cease or be considerably reduced from current leve15. The tru5tee5 anticipate that they will lake remedial
action to limrt the future oulgoings of the chatrty rf and when rt might become apparent that further 5UPPOrt from
the benefactor is unlikely.
bl General incidence of negative publicity..
INhilsl there Is aknays a potential risk of negative publicrty from the media and other indiwduals reporting on
charities, The Leonardo Trust is proud of the qualty of support we prowde. We do, from time to time, undertake
ventures alongside or in partnership with olher charities and organisalions. Any significant commitment of our
fvnds to such joint ventures will be accompanied by due diltgence reviews of both the proposed nature of the
service and the other charity or or9anisation involved in an attempt to limit any
reputational damage to the Leonardo Tiust.
cl Negative outcomes from servicè provision=
Thè Charity continues lo develop direct seN¢ès to carers. We have irnplemenled robust safeguarding and
monitoring systems which we will continue to develop as services are expanded. The Charty Manager 15 the
designated Safeguarding Officer.
Struciure, governance management
The Charity Is constiluled under a deed of trust dated 6th February 2001 as amended by a supplemèntsl deed
dated 23rd March 2001. Leonardo Tnjst has been registered with the Charrty Commission since 2001.
