BARN MENCAP (Acompany Limited by Guarantee) Trusteeg Annual Reportforyearermled 31st March 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Bamet Mencap had a asonable year financially in 2024125, finishing with a net in-year deficit of £7.721. although our unrestritted reseNes reduced by £57.226 to £566,929. Of these unrestricted reserves. the Board has designated £166.176 for specific purposes leaving our usable reserves at a healthy £400,753. Our total income in 2024n5 was £1,613,158, some £170,041 more than in 2023/24. while total expenditure was £1,624.990. some £185.118 more than in the previous year. Our major Sour of funding remains the London Borough of Barnet, mainly through contracts which accounted for 40.5% of our income. compared to 46.5% in 2023124. We were pleased to retain our major contracts through tender awards in 2024125 and during the new finandal year. although as mentioned elsewhere in this Repor( we were disappolnted that the value of some contracts was reduced. The reduction In the percentage reflects increasing our Income through other sources. particularly grants and a number of new partnershlp arrangements. The Charity maintains a close watch on opportunitles to bld for further contracts and grants and continues to attract additional funding. Other than contracts and grants we have been seeking to increase our resources through fundraisi donation5 andlor sponsorship for specific projects, although donations were lower in 2024125, presumably reflecting the higher cost of living. Most of our expenditure relates to staffing costs. Induding our Natlonal Insurance and pension contributions these totalled £1.152.095. some 73.4% of the total. an increase from 2024125 in percentsge temis from 72.8%. All staff received at least the London Livin8 Wage in 2024125. although the Impact of the Increase In the natlonal Insurance contributions we have to make has meant that we could no longer rnanage this in the new financial year. The market value of our Investments Increased by £4,111. and our In-year Income from investment and Interest Increased by £3,SX)2. Barnet Mencap is in a reasonable financial positTon. but we remain concerned at the economic situation. which Impacts our service users and staff directly as well as the organisation itself. Inflation has risen back to around 4%. double the Bank of England target of 2%. and energy prices look set to rise again. The Govemment will present its budget in November 2025 and once again it looks as though the public sector will face some reductions. and the has been little encouragement that there will be any much needed boost in expenditure on social care. Reser Policy The Board deterniined last yearthat its level of unrestricted usable reserves should be set at Six months. worth of annual unrestricted expenditure. As stated alK)ve our usable reserves stood at £400.753 at 31st March 2025 which falls above the Policy requirement by around £20,(KKI. The Board will continue to monitor this closely, including the further use of its reserves. 16
BAftNMENCAp (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Trustees, Annual Re5foryearended 3tst Marth 2025 PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Barnet Mencap has a Risk Register that helps to identify and manage principal risks and uncertainties that affect the charity in the past year these have induded: l. Funding and Budget Pressures Bamet Mencap has faced significant budget pressures this year. Much of this comes from the financial strains affecting Bamet Council. It has led them to cut £50.(KN) per year from the new Bright Futures contrart. and £IO.IJX) from the Parenting Support contract. The government has increased the National Insurance Contributions for employers, and this wlll cost Barnet Mencap an additional £3040,000 per year. In addition. it has been very difficult to fund the office space used by the Autism Hub, which had been rented to Royal Mencap. This is costing Bamet Mencap approximatety £25,(KX) per year. 2. Managing the demand for support Each of Bamet Mencap's teams has worked with more people this year. There has also been an increase in the complexity of people's need5 and Circumstan5. When this 15 combined with reductions in fundin& it risks puttin8 more pressure on staff. Bamet Mencap is looking at how it can best manage the demand for support. and the caseloads in the teams. Care Quality Commlssion In 2024-25. Barnet Mencap's reglstration with the Care Quality Commission ICQC) was at risk. There was a misunderstanding over whether the Equality Housing Team delivered personal care as part of the servi. Once it was darified that this was the case, the CQC fully restored Barnet Mencap's registration. Hate Crime Project Barnet Mencap has provided the Hate Crime Reporting seN1 since 2017. In that time. the coordinator has trained staff and residents, encouraging them to report hate crimes. supported the Hate Crime Centres. and led the programme for Hate Crime Week. But despite the efforts of the new Coordinator Bamet Counal decided to dlscontinue funding for the project, and it ended in April 2025. 5. Office The landlords have decided to sell the offiS at 35 Hendon Lane. but this 15 unlikely to affect Barnet Mencap'5 lease. Barnet Mencap's lease at ststion Road continues until January 2027. It hopes to extend the lease and has begun to discuss this with the Council. 17

Matters on which wearerequlred to reyt byeKep In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtsined in the course of the audiL we have not Identified material misstatements in the Trustees. Annual ReporL We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters Whe the Companies Act 2(K16 requires us to report to you rf. in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the financial sLitements are not in agernent with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures afttee5, remuneratlon specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the Inforniation and explanations we require for our audlt. Responslbmltles of the trustees As explained more fully in the Tru$teeg Responslblllttes Statemen¢ the trurtees (who are also the directors of the tharitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparatlon of the financial statements and ft>r being satlsfied that they glve a true and fair view and for such Internal control as they detennine 15 necessary to enable the preparatlon of finandal statements that are free from materlal misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial ststements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charitys abilityto continue as a going concern, disclosin& as applicable, matters related to 80inB concern and using the going concern basis of accountin8 unless the trnstees elther intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations. or have no realtstic altemative but to do so. Ourresponslbluiies fortheaudltof thelln•clal statemtt Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financS3l staternents as a whole are free from Material misstatemeTr( whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorfs report that includes our oplnion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted In accordan with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when It exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, indlvldually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be experted to influence the economic decisions of user5 taken on the basis of these financial ststements. Irregularitles, indudin8 fraud, are Instances of non<ompliance with laws and re8ulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined al)ove. to detert material mlsstatements in $pert of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to whith our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud are set out below. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities. including fraud and non- Complian with laws and re8ulations, our procedures included the following: We enquired of management, which included obtsining and reviewing supporting documentation. concerning the tharity's policies and procedu relating to the intemal controls established to mitigate risk5 related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. We in5perted the minutes ot meeting5 of those charged with 8overnance. We reviewed the financial statement disdosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 23

Because of the inherent Ilmitation5 of an audlL there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities indudi those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. The rfsk Is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealmenL forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
