Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Accounting and Reporting by Charities,. Statement
of Recommended Practice application to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Flnancial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) leffective I

Objectlves and artfvltles
To relieve those who are sick, elderly, disabled, handicapped or otherwise infirm by the provlsion of
advice and support to Carers in Greater Manchester.
To advance the education of the public by raising awa￿ne$S In all matters relatingto the care of those
who are sick, elderly, disabled. handicapped or otherwise infirm and their Carers.
To do all such other charitable things in the pursuit of the objects stated al)ove.
Manchester Carers Forum engages with carers in a variety of locations throughout the cty, enabling
carers to access support and information. Carers are signposted to other organisations that can give
advice and provide support. We provide peer support through our Carer Support Service which
delivers telephone, online and in-person befriending and support groups.
The Directors confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public
benefit when reviewing the Charl￿S aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting
the policies for the year.
Carers save the national economy over £132billion per annum. In delivering our activities we seek to
ensure that there is on%oing support for the unpald carers in Manchester who make a significant
contribution in kind to the economic wellbein8 of our city. In this way, the charity furthers its
charltable purposes for the public benefit.
We engage with carers to drive the direction of our work, across our various monthly carers support
groups, coffee meetings and events throughout the year. Some of these groups receive additional
funding from other charitable and corporate sources but staff must app￿ for these on an additional
basis. Likewise, where we are able to secure additional funding we arrange breaks for carers to have
much needed respite from the caring role.
Volunteers support the delivery of what we do. The majority of ourvolunteers are carers and former
carers themselves, and full training and on-going sUPPOrt is provided. Our volunteer roles vary and
include the provision of emotional support to carers, supporting the facilitation of support groups
and involvernent in our training and education work. For example, we work with unNersities In
Manchester on the social work programmes to advance the knowledge and understanding of carers
and care roles.
We also engage with the statutory sector on strategic issues affecting carers, includlng through
Carers Manchester. Carers Manchester is a group of organisations that form the Carers Manchester

MANCHESTER CARERS FORUM
Pathway, which provides support to carers in a variety of ways including telephone and fa￿ to face
support and loc31 services.
A revlew of our achlevements and performance

Flnanclal revlew
The Directors considered the budget for the year and made plans to ensure that expendlture did not
outstrip income. They were prepared to use reserves but this was not necessary. Manchester Carers
Forum derives Its income from a number of sources. Our total income is made up of grants from
statutory services and charitable trusts. consultancy and trainin& and from donations.

MANCHESTER CARERS FORUM
Investment powers and pollcy
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charl￿5 funds are to be
spent In the short term so there a￿ few funds for any longerterm investment. The Directors shal
review this statement should excess funds become available.
Reserves policy
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2024 was £42.847 of which all are free
reserves, after allowing forfunds tied up in tangible fixed assets. The Directors aim to rnaintain free
reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximatetry three months of
unrestrirted charitable expenditure. The Directors consider that this level will provide sufficient
funds to respond to applications ft)r grants and ensure that support and governance costs are
covered.
The charitvs main source of income is grants. The Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare
the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any
adjustments that would be necessary rfthese sources of income should cease.
Rlsk management
The Board of Directors has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed.
Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity
faces. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health safety of staff, volunteers, parents,
children and visitors.
Plans for future periods
The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcomin8 years subject to
satisfactory funding arrangements.

Independenl examiner's report to the trnstees of MANCHESTER CARERS,
FORUM
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024, which
are set out on pages 7 to 17.
Respectiv¢ responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued
accounts and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is
eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act .
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145(b) of the 201 l Act" and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner s report
My examination was carried oirt in accordance with the general Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to
whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set
out in thc statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
( l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the
accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006. ' and
with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice:
Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met: or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
