Much of the work is funded through larger grants and contracts. Small amounts of money can have an impact. though, and help Barnet Mencap develop new projects. Barnet Mencap sets out its objectives for the year in the development plans. a) At the end of March. Barnet Mencap agreed to a new three-year Business Plan. This sets out what the organisation wants to achieve. how it will manage the risks which might affert progress. and the resources required. This point was add￿Ssed in more detail in the Funding Strategy, how Barnet Mencap hopes to re-secure contracts and grants. and where funding is needed for new areas of work. The plans are underpinned by a three-year Equallties, Diversity. and Inclusion {EDI) Action Plan. Barnet Mencap was very pleased to be awarded the Bright Futures contract. which started in September 2024. but is disappointed to see that the￿ is a £50,IYY) reduttion in the annual funding each year. In addltion. there is less money in the new Parenting Support contract. Thi5 is a worry. Local authorities do fa￿ hu8e financial pressures. but charities like Barnet Mencap cannot really absorb cuts on thls scale. and they are keen to find new. additlonal sources of fundlng. Barnet Mencap this year celebrates its 60 anniversary and has a programme of events to markthis milestone. b) The Project Support team carries out Barnet Mencap's business functions, including finance, trainin& communication, health and safety. and HR. In 2024-25. the team implemented the new Communications Strategy and appointed a new Communications Officer. There were other changes. with a new Finance Officer and a Project Support Officer. c) The whole of Barnet Mencap was deeply affected when Bhavini Ghaghda dled In February after working manv vears for Barnet Mencap. d) There has been a Chief Operating Offi￿r Sin￿ March 2024, to ￿place the Deputy Chief Executive. The Offi￿ at Hendon Lane was refurbished, painted. and had new carpets fitted. The Project Support Team organized a staff Away Day and facilitated a meeting for all staff four times per year. They conducted another Staff Wellbeing survey. One of the suggestions was for Barnet Mencap to have a Staff Forum. This has been set up and has continued, helping stsff to raise any concerns. make proposals, and provide a good channel of communication for Barnet Mencap's Staff and the leadership team. Artificial Intelligence (Al) is having an enonnous impact on all our live5. The Project Support Team has drafted a new policy for Barnet Mencap, so that the charity can make the most of the new opportunities and manage the risks. Training has been provided to help staff better understand Charity LOE and introduced Log My Care for the Equality Housing Team, electronic care management systems that will help staff work more effectively. e) The Fundraising Coonlinator helped to brin8 In, orsecure through long term grants. over £50.Ot)O in 2024-25. This comes from grant applications or community activities. The Fundraising Coordinator applied successfully for grants to extend the Safe Places project and obtained a grant from Sport England to fund COPS, work. She organized a sponsored wall and people with leaming disabilities raised money for us.

Barnet Mencap recruited and supported a Peer Engagement Worker. He work with people in forensic services to get their views about the services and how they can be improved. Staff support him to undertake work and travel to locations. It is an original model. and Bamet Mencap has enjoyed working with PSC, the Ideas Alliance. and the Mental Health Trust to leam lessons from the projert and share them more widety. j) Partnerships are important to Barnet Mencap: working with other charltles that have expertise in another field helps Barnet Mencap improve services and the lives of people with learning disabilitie5 and their families.

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 BAftN￿MENCAp (A Company Limited by Guarantee) Trustees, Annual Re5￿foryearended 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 Circumstan￿5. 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 offi￿S 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.
