MANCHESTER CARERS FORUM Report of the Dlrectors for the year ended 31" March 2025 The Directors present their annual directors, report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31, March 2025 which are a150 prepared to meet the requirement5 for a directors, report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements complywith the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 (effective I January 20191. Objectlves and activities To relieve those who are sick, elderly, disabled, handicapped or otherwise infirm by the provision of advice and support to Carers in Greater Manchester. To advance the education of the public by raising awareness in all matters relating to 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 above. Manchester Carers Forum engages with carers in a variety of locations throughout the city, 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 Dlrectors confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charitws aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting the policies for the year. Carers save the national economy over £184billion per annum. In delivering our activities we seek to ensure that there is on-going support for the unpaid carers in Manchester who make a significant contribution in kind to the economic wellbeing of our city. In this way, the charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit. We engage with carers to drive the direction of our work, across our various monthly carers support groups, cafe meetings and events throughout the year. Some of these groups receive additional funding from other charitable and corporate sources but staff must apply 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 our volunteers 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 involvement in our training and education work. For example, we work with universities 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, including through Carers Manchester. Carers Manchester is a group of organisations that form the Carers Manchester
MANCHESTER CARERS FORUM Pathwayp which provides support to carer5 in a variety of ways including telephone and face to face support and local services. A review of our achlevements and performance Our performance is measured against outcomes jointly agreed by ourselves and our funders and we have met and/or exceeded these outcomes. We have submitted regular reports to our funders and these reports contain both quantitative and qualitative evaluations together with financial returns, Some of the most recent comments from carers who access our support are below.. "It has given me the opportunity to talk to other carers. Helps me know l am not the only one going through it- "It helps my wellbeing talking to other carers. Mokes me happy ond good In myself." 'The coffee mornings are really nice Gnd enjoyoble, ond a chance to meet people you don't know, who you hove something in common with. It's not easy to meet new people ot my age." "It's aform of therapy." Without this meeting I'd be more of a hermit. More onxious ond depressed." "You've got me through Some very difficult times. "I love chatting with the others about any topic ond lots of laughter too, which is o genuine relief." °Support ond guidonce that is olways there." "It provides o connectionfor information which 15 neededfor a carer." Flnancial review The Directors considered the budget for the year and made plans to ensure that expenditure did not outstrip income. They were prepared to Use reserves but this was not nece55ary. 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 training, and from donations. Investment powers and policv Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for any longer term investment. The Directors shall review this statement should excess funds become available. Reserves policy The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31st March 2025 was £44,249 of which £43,625 are free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets. The Directors aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted fund5 at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted cha ritable expenditure. The Directors consider that this level will provide suff icient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
MANCHESTER CARERS FORUM The charity's main source of income is grants. The Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accoLtnts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease. Risk 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 perlods The charity plans to continue the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
