CHAIR'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Chair's Welcome
Welcome to the Services for Independent Living (SIL) Annual Report. Thank you for taking the time to read the report. I hope you find it’s contents interesting.
2022/23 has been another difficult year for the Health and Social Care sector due to both financial and recruitment challenges. Most of the services we provide are funded by the Council, who are not given enough funding by central government. During the year we took part with the Council in a Fair Cost of Care exercise which showed that our cost per hour for homecare is more than the rate paid by the Council.
Without adequate funding we cannot pay a competitive wage to our support workers and our care workers. This means that retention and recruitment of staff is always a struggle. This is a shame because with more staff we could provide more services to disabled and older people.
In December the Board took the strategic decision to give a 10% pay rise to all staff to help the retention and recruitment of staff. In March 2022 the Council announced that they would increase their rates for 2022/23 by 6%. 90% of our costs are wages, so we were looking at making a deficit for the year. However, due to the amazing contribution from all staff we managed to turn that round and show a small surplus for the year.
For 2023/24 the Board decided to increase staff wages by the same increase as the Council rate. From 1st April 2023 we gave an 8% pay rise to staff, so that staff have received an 18% increase over the last two years. SIL has always prided itself on looking after its staff and in 2022 the organisation won the Hereford Times Health and Social care Award for the Best Place to Work.
The budget for 2023/24 was showing a small deficit. However, we have managed to increase the service hours provided in all areas and we are showing a surplus for the first four months of the year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all SIL staff for another year of providing first class services to disabled people, and the Senior Management Team for managing the financial and retention and recruitment pressures during the year.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S SUMMARY
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Welcome to our 2022/23 Annual Report and Accounts. I hope you find the content interesting and take the time to look through some of the exciting achievements we have had this year.
It makes my report much easier to write when we have had a good year and that is indeed the case for 2022/23. Despite forecasting a deficit as a result of giving a generous 10% pay rise to all staff in December 2021, we have ended the year with a small surplus. This has enabled us to agree a further 8% pay award for all staff for April 2023.
In addition, we have continued to recruit new staff and reduce staff turnover, meaning we have seen a significant net increase, during what has been a very difficult period for the sector. Employee numbers were 132 at 31st March 2023, compared to 117 at 31st March 2022. This increase has been in front line staff, with the number of management posts staying the same, and means we can deliver more services to disabled and older people across Herefordshire.
This success has been down to a variety of initiatives to improve the working environment in SIL, which was recognised at the Hereford Time Health and Social Care Awards where SIL won the 2022 Best Place to Work Award.
SIL has also managed to maintain unrestricted reserves of over £1m. This is a significant achievement for a charity of SILs size and enables the organisation to look confidently towards the future, along with providing a platform to invest more in meeting our charitable aims.
None of the above could have been achieved without an excellent workforce and I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single person who works for SIL. SIL staff often talk about being part of the ‘SIL Family’ and it does genuinely feel like that, especially at times of pressure when the teams and individuals pull together to make sure we continue to provide high quality services to the people we support.
I would also like to thank all of the people who use SIL services, as without you, there is no SIL. I really appreciate the way you engage with the organisation, through working with your support staff, to attending the events we host throughout the year. You also add to the feeling of SIL being an extended family.
And finally, I would like to recognise the work of the SIL trustees. All of our trustees are volunteers and give up a significant amount of time to ensure that the organisation is being run correctly. Thank you for all that you do and I look forward to working with you all in the future.
Euan McPherson Chief Executive

2.5 Achievement of objectives 2022/23
SIL supported over 300 people throughout Herefordshire in 2022/23 through the services outlined above. The people who use SIL’s services include people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, mental health, Acquired Brain Injuries and carers.
2.6 Governance
Consistent with our vision SIL is a service user led/ controlled organisation, having at least 50% disabled trustees, or family carers. A register of interest is maintained and declarations of potential conflicts of interests are a standing agenda item at monthly Board meetings. The Trustees also operate the following committees which report to the Board. Committee membership is determined by the skills and experience of individual Trustees.
2.7 Recruitment of Trustees
SIL uses various channels to attract and identify Trustees with the skills and knowledge to effectively direct the affairs of the charity, including external adverts.
Prospective Trustees complete an application form and a declaration of eligibility and have an interview with the Chair and Chief Executive. They are invited to attend three Board meetings, where they have speaking, but not voting, rights and are supplied with a role description / person specification / ‘The Essential Trustee’ guide. Post Board approval they sign a Contract / Code of conduct and Register of Interests. Access needs are determined in order to provide appropriate support and equipment. A comprehensive induction is provided.
In 2022/23 the Trustees have provided excellent attendance at all our meetings.
2.8 Evaluation of Board Performance
During 2022/23 SIL had Board meetings and Finance Committee meetings held on a monthly basis. All trustees have attended at least the minimum number of Board meetings.
Board meetings have now moved to every two months. Finance Committee meetings are still held monthly.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
2.10 Annual Risk Assessment
The SIL risk register includes four red risks with a combined score for likelihood and impact between 16 and 25. These risks relate to the rates paid by the Council for care and to the retention and recruitment of staff.
| Risk | Likeli- hood |
Impact | Score | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The rates paid by the Council do not cover the cost of providing care |
5 |
5 | 25 | A significant amount of services are provided to the Council. At present the rates paid by the Council do not reflect the hourly cost of care. The Council have published the Cost of Care Report which shows that the rates paid are significantly under the median cost of care. We will seek to engage with the Council to discuss the report and how to increase the rates paid. |
| The Medium Term Financial Strategy for the organisation cannot balance the books and produce a break even situation |
5 |
4 | 20 | We are currently projecting a deficit for 2022/23 and 2023/24. This is because the 10% wage increase in December 2021 was higher than the council rate increases in April 2022. If the level of activity stays the same the organisation will need wages to increase by 2.5% less than the Council rate increase in order to break even. |
| Minimum Wage/National Living Wage/Pension Contribution increases lead to recruitment and retention issues as staff find other sectors more attractive financially |
5 |
4 | 20 | Investment in developing full range of staff benefits: sick pay, increasing support staff salaries above NLW, welfare visits and support, training offer, mental health support, retained councillor, physical wellbeing program, external Occupational Health, supervision and support, social events |
| Recruitment and retention of key staff (particularly support workers) and the ability to plan succession with a fluid and expanding organisation. |
4 |
4 | 16 | Recruitment of key staff is essential to the ongoing stability and growth of the organisation. The availability of support workers has a direct impact on our ability to grow our Homecare and ILH services. We pay competitive rates and have done a lot of work on employee wellbeing and support, which has helped significantly reduce staff turnover and enabled us to be seen as an employer of choice in our sector. |

2.11 Organisational Structure
SIL promotes the employment of disabled people in line with our guiding principle, ‘Using the skills of disabled people’, and guarantees a job interview to disabled candidates meeting the essential criteria. Approximately 25% of staff are either disabled or have substantial caring responsibilities; our target is to achieve 30%. SIL holds the Disability Confident Leader’ award.
Staff are based at Head Office in Leominster. The Trustees delegate the day-to-day management ultimately to the Chief Executive, who heads a senior management team comprising Heads of Service, HR Manager, Head of Finance and a Head of Projects & Initiatives who report to the Board monthly. The remuneration of key management personnel is set by the Board of Trustees.
At 31 March 2023 SIL employed a headcount total of 132 staff - 115 (87%) whom were providing services and 17 (13%) support staff.

4. Financial Review
The charity has achieved a surplus of £5,146 (2022 surplus of £28,291) this year. A surplus of £1,673 was made on unrestricted funds and a surplus of £3,473 on the restricted funds.
Total income was £2.895m in 2022/23 compared to £2.742m, in the previous year.
Reserves policy
The total funds held by the charity at the year end amounted to £1,073,228 (2022 £1,068,082). This included restricted funds of £44,745 (2022 £41,272), which related to the Third Party Provider Service and the Herefordshire Mens' Mental Health Group.
Free reserves which includes the amount of unrestricted funds at the year excluding tangible fixed assets amounted to £629,052 (2022 £641,720).
The Trustees have decided that the unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use together with the value of the head office building should be maintained at a level of the total cost of closure. The Trustees consider that this is a responsible way to maintain reserves and this level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
5. Plans and Priorities 2023/24
Our strategy for 2023/24 is to:
-
Ensure that the deficit for 2023/24 is as low as possible to minimize the use of reserves.
-
To be the employer of choice for our sector in the localities in which we operate and improve the number of staff we recruit and retain.
-
To be the provider of choice for our sector in the localities in which we operate and increase the number of service users we support.
-
To maintain at least a “Good” rating from CQC for all regulated services.
-
To proactively search out and respond to new business opportunities.
-
To explore and fund the opportunity to develop a Charitable Arm to the organization.
-
To engage with the Council and ICS to build relations and discuss the fair cost of care.
-
To develop our understanding, knowledge and presentation of SIL’s social value.
Each service has a set of targets related to the strategy which are reported in monthly management reports to the board.

SERVICES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The trustees, who are also the directors of Services for Independent Living for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF SERVICES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Services for Independent Living (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

SERVICES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF SERVICES FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
-
an understanding of the risk assessment process (including the assessment of the risk of fraud) adopted by the Board is obtained and their attitude to risk ascertained
-
an assessment of the susceptibility to material mis-statement of the financial statements as a result of management over-ride of fraud is made
-
an understanding of the specific rules and regulations applicable to the client is obtained, including here all matters relating to safeguarding and the need for DBS clearance of staff
-
it is ensured that the engagement team have, collectively, the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to be involved in the assignment, are fully briefed and understand the risks specific to the charity
Audit response to risks identified
-
processes to test the outcomes of our assessment include, a review of Board minutes, analytical review, the relevance and accuracy of significant accounting estimates, substantive testing of significant transactions, work to identify unusual or unexpected accounting entries including the testing of journal entries, and information disclosed in the financial statements is traced to supporting documentation. In all instances it is acknowledged that material mis-statements that arise from fraud may involve deliberate concealment or collusion and are, therefore, by their very nature harder to detect than those arising from error.
-
our understanding of the legal and regulatory framework as applicable to the company is reviewed alongside knowledge of the procedures put in place by the company in order to comply with the same
-
it is established if there have been any instances of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, where there are such breaches, a full understanding, including gathering of relevant documentation appertaining to the event is obtained and assessed
It should be noted that Auditing standards limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Services for Independent Living is a private company limited by guarantee and was registered in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Owen Way, Leominster Enterprise Park, Leominster, Herefordshire, HR6 0LA.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Voluntary income is recognised as incoming resources when receivable, except insofar as they are incapable of financial measurement.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, net of VAT.

1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Creditors represent the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle a debt or a provision for goods and services it has received not yet invoiced, measured at settlement amount.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets - goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill shall be considered to have a finite useful life, and shall be amortised on a systematic basis over its life of 4 years,
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings 2% on cost for buildings, no depreciation on land Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% and 33% on cost Motor vehicles 25% on cost
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/ expenditure for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Cash deposits where maturity exceeds three months are treated as short term investments and carried in current assets.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
