The trustees have adopted the provisions of A¢¢ounling and Reporting by Charities= Statement of Recommended Practi¢¢ appli¢able to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives ¥nd aims The purposes of Cheshire Carers Centre are.. a) To alleviate the ¢ondilions of life amongst people who are caring or who have cared for elderly, sick. disabled. handi¢apped or otheise infim) p¢rsons al home {hcrcinafter eallcd 'carers') and who are in necessilous Ciicumslances and dependents of carers who are themselves in n¢c¢ssitOUS Circumstances. b) To relieve and allevtate, and lo advance, promote, encourage and assist in the relief or alleviation of all kinds of mental and pbysical infumity, sickness, disabl¢m¢nt or handicap includillg meulal illness attributable to caring amongst ¢ar¢rs and those p¢rsons for whom they are caring. c) To advance education concerning caring amongst carers and the publi¢. The centre has a countrywide remit to provide inforniation to carers across Ch¢shir¢ and the in¢remcntal dcvclopment of services is a key principle of Cheshir¢ and WarriT]gton Carers Centre. This development is dependent upon attracting additional resour¢¢s. All s¢rvices provided by Cheshire and Wiurington Carers C¢ntre are free of charge to carers. Public benefit The charity's trustees have cornplied with the duty in section 4 of the 2006 Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance publish¢d by the Charity Cotnmission. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities After previous unceitainty, we started the year knowing that we had s¢¢ure funding for at least the next 12 months in most areas of our work and this stable platform allowed us to seek additional proje¢t tiinding to further enhance our support offer for carers. We continu¢ to identify gaps in provision and continually seek funding to m¢et unm¢t n¢¢ds. Further extensions in funding have now tsk¢o pla¢¢ w¢ll into 2024125 and beyond. We w¢re sue¢¢ssful in attracting n¢w funding from the National Lottery to develop a new br¢aks offer in Cheshire East, Cost of living ndIng for carers, En¢rgy support and the continuation of the Household Support Fund until Septemb¢r 2024. After 6 years of the main Cheshire West Carers Support S¢rvi¢e. the tender for the new Community Led Care and Car¢rs Service was pushed back until the late Summer and we will know the outcome by ¢arly AutUTnn 50 fingers crossed! In Cheshire East. the third year of delivering services under the short Breaks for Disabled Children contract for families of children wilh additional nccds. w45 highly again Successful for families across the borough and although funding was reduced by 25 /0 we were able to re¢onfigure the services offered. albeit with reduced support in som¢ areas. This service ha5 now been extended until August 2025. During the y¢ar w¢ were 5ubcontracled by Ch¢shirc East Carers Hub to provide additional support for Parent Carcrs. with groups, family activities and breaks offered across th¢ borough. This allows Parent Carers a challce to meet other parents whilst their children take part in fun activities. The 3 actor Panto was a parti¢ulai highlight. The Making Carers Count service, fjjnded through Carers Trust for Par¢nt Carers, came to an end in March 2024 with over 650 parcnt carers supported during the 2 and a half year funding. We are still seeking continued fimding to allow us to have a dedicated Parent Car¢r support service going forward. The pilot project with Ch¢shir¢ W¢5t and Ch¢51¢T council to offer Carers Assessments on behalf of th¢ Lo¢al Authority has steadily b¢¢n developing with a wider range of staff bcing trained and supported to offer Assessment. This will allow more fl¢xibility going forward. There ar¢ still som¢ ar¢as to furthcr dcvclop but the quality of our support has been regularly highlightcd by carers and professionals. November 2024 will see the 30th anniversary of the fonnalion of Cheshire and Warrington Carers Trust (or Val¢ Royal Carers Centre as it was then) and we plan to use the occasion to not only c¢l¢brate and highlight our work, but also to raise awareness of carers, issues across Cheshire and Warrillgton.
