Chtshire and Warrington Carers Centre Report of tbe Trustees for the yeor ended 30 M4reb 2025 ACHIEVEMEL¥TS AND PERFORMANCE Charltable activities In No>vembeT 2024 we celebrated our 30th anniv¢rsary of the formation of Cheshire and Waington Carers Trust {or Vale Royal Carers Centre as it was then) and used the occasion to r¢flect on th¢ past 3 de¢ades and to higbligbt our cllrrent work, future plans and raise awareness of Carers issues across Cheshire and Warrington. The AGM welcomed back fornjer stsff, tnjstees and several carers who had be¢n supported since our opening in 1994. The raffle of 30 hampers for 30 year5 raised almost £2000 and this funding will be used io support carers directly through groups and activities in the coming y¢ar. As in previous years, funding remained 8 major concem, partscularly given that our largest servi¢¢, th¢ Cheshire West Cartrs Support Service ended in January 2025, after 7 years of suc¢¢ssful delivery. In other parts of our serrfices we have had to flexibly adapt to differing and reduced sour¢¢s of iDcom¢, at a time of rapidly increasing costs. Fortun2tely, we weTe really pleased to have been successh]l in the tender for the new Community Led Care and Carer5 Service. This started in Tnid-january 2025. inc(>rpordting many of our previous strvices but with increased digiial re4ch. Initially focusing on Carers and Older People, the remit was quickly expauded to include all adults aged 18 alld OV¢T. Th¢ service was renamed BetteT Together for Carers and th¢ Conynunily to inor¢ accurately reflect the wider remit. Our partnerships wilh Opal. Snow Angels and the Let's Ta]k initiative allows us to deliver this wider range of support and keeps our focus primarily on carers. In Chesbire East, the f]nal year of delivering services Under the short Breaks for Dis8bled Children contract for families of children with 2dditional n¢¢ds, continued to offer a wide range of support and a¢tiviti¢s for f8mili¢s across the borough- A furth¢r extension to tb¢ end of 2025 gave an element of security for ¢arers, children and sthff, although longer tern) uncertainty remains. We will seek alternative fvnding sourc¢s to hopefully continue this much t]eeded ivork in full or in part. We are also success1 in attracting funding fron] the West]ninster Foundation to support families of children SEND in rural West Cheshire, offering training, support and activities. A generous donation allowed us to continue some of the pr¢vious Making Carer Count information and advocacy support sessions in Cheshire East, albeit at a reduced level. We werc also successfvl in gaining funding from the Garfield Weston Foundation and a couple of other local charitable trusts to enable us t9 gtrengthen both our core service and projects. The Household Support Fund was furtbtr extended to March 2026 allow us io offer support to families towards food, heating and other costs. This is much needed at a lime with constantly increasing costs for such essentials. Aft¢r a successful ?023124 in attracting several short-tenn funding streams, many of these came to an end with no continued nding. Wherev¢r possible staff were redeployed into other aieas. Seeksng funding lo continue with highly valued services remains a priority this year. The pilot project with Cheshire West and Chestei COUllciI to offer Carers Assessments on bebalf of the Local Authority was incorporated into the new Better Tog¢theT se]et with 3 part-tim¢ assessois employed as part of the new i¢am. This will continu¢ to offer the quality assessments recognised by carers and professionals and allow 5ean]less referral into the Better Together s¢rvi¢es, iT)cluding the new Care Well fwjd. Looking fon¥ard we aim to strengthen our staff and volunteer team to be quicker to respond to new opportunities, allow more fl¢xibility and increase our capacity. We will also be red¢veloping our community raising events io raise mucb necded r¢s(>UTC¢S and give carers and their families opportunities to take part in fun 3nd enjoyable activitics.
