Age UK Hull is a charity and gIStered company which is governed by a board of Trustees. Introduction by the Chair In 2024125 Age UK Hull and East Yorkshlre continued to strengthen the breadth and depth of its services for older people across the region. We moved to our new premises on Preston Road in Easl Hull and have now settled in lo accommodation that gives room for fvrther expansion as and when the time is right 2024125 saw us celebrate our 75th anniversary. In the 75 years of our existence, we've had S differenl names, 7 dlfferent homes and supported well over 500,000 of the region's most vulnerable older people. Our Information and Advice service provides the region's only older-person4edlcated welfare benefits advice service. The sudden change in July 2024 to Winter Fuel Allowance eligibility provided a significant challenge to the team, however swift and innovative changes to services and working closely with partners saw us successfully increase take up of eligible benefits by over 37%0. Across the year, all of our other services also saw significant Increases in demand not lust in temis of the number of people requiring support. bul also in the complexity of needs with whlch older people were presenting. Loneliness and isolation contlnue to be on the increase, exacerbating other Issues older people are dealln9 wilh. Community Companions continued to help people overcome barriers to transport. the number of lonely older people supported by our Befriending seNices hil an all-ts'me high, our Volunteer numbers continued to increase, the Falls SeNice prevented 98 /0 of clients falling again, the Walking Football programme went from strength to strength and our Home Support service grew by over 30.1.. Soclal groups continue lo be our highest profile community-ba5ed actlvity, helping over 250 older people each week, and this year several new groups were established across the region. Our Christmas sooal lunches Saw over 350 people come together to share in wonderful food, entertainment and receive an individual gift. And we couldn'l have imagined that our Christmas shoe box appeal would see the local community provide and distribute over 1,100 Christmas gift boxes to the region's mosl isolated and vulnerable older people. Whilst the charity continued to deliver much needed services we also campaigned and advocated for older people. During the 2024125 year we did much to raise the issue of Dorneslic Abuse and its effect on older people, holding a regional learning event attended by over 125 people. Along with delivering all this, the team secured the externally verified Charity Quality Standard and Quality of Infonnation and Signposting Standard. Whilst we believe that we're doing a good job it is gratifying to receive such external recognition. Flnancing all this amazing work contlnues lo be a significant challenge. Careful use has been made of the funds we have secured, and our reserves have continued lo be invested lo sustain our services. Plans for the future involve both strategic funding developments along with a programme of community-based fundraising, including remembering Jean. 'The Bee Lady" Page 1

However, delivering seNices and activities that are attractive and beneficial for older people to attend, and wthich are based in the heart of the communities in which they live. are crucial factors in creating a reason for older people lo "come out. of their homes.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Age UK Hull and East Yorkshire Limited Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the tharilable company and its environment oblained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial stalements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the tnjstees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, dlsclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to Ilquidale the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative bul to do so. Page 10
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Age UK Hull and East Yorkshire Limited Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slatements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue a Report of the Independent Auditors thal includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but15 not a guarantee Ihat an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when il 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 finanaal statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. induding fraud is detalled below.. Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statement5 or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006. lax legislation. data protection. anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulalions and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence. We assessed the suscepllblllty of the company's financlal slalements lo materlal mlsslalement, Including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of managemenl and considering the internal controts in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non<ompliance with laws and regulations. To address the rlsk of fraud through managemenl blas and ovefflde of controls, we: performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relalionshlps,. lesled journal entries to Identify unusual transactions., assessed whelher judgements and assumpiions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias,. and investigated the rabonale behind significant or unusual transaclions. In response to the risk of Irregularilies and non-compllance wlth laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited lo.. agreeing financial statemenl disdosures to underlying supporting documentation. - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance,. enquiring of management as lo actual and potential litigation and claims: and - reviewing correspondenc8 with relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk Ihal we will not detect all irregularities, includin9 those leading to a material misstatement in the financial slatemenls or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and Iransaclions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audil procedures required to Identify nonacompliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. The risk is also greater regarding irregulari15es occurring due to fraud ralher than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery. collusion. omission, or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on ihe Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This descripiion foms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Page11
