## **Trustees Annual Report** ## **2022/23** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES:** The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks to which Cartref may be exposed. Through the office of Cartref, adequate systems are in place to manage potential risks as the Trustees have identified. The Trustees continue to be vigilant and keep all processes under review including investment strategy and monitoring financial performance. In the year under review, the Trustees responsibly sought advice from professionals including Asbri Planning Consultants, Dolmans Solicitors, Hugh James Solicitors, Grant Thornton Accountants, Savills and Refreshing Law Limited. Professional reports were provided following instruction from Trustees. The Trustees continued to meet regularly with the Chief Executive Officer, in order to discuss operational matters, the impact of Covid-19 and regulatory changes and decisions. Trustees met with staff in March 2023 as necessary. Trustees carefully considered the current investments were suitable for Cartref and met its investment objectives. Further consideration will be given to investments moving forward upon which expert professional advice will be sought. Trustees continued to review the current investments at appropriate intervals. ## **Related Party Transactions:** No Trustees were paid during 2022/2023 and there were no related party transactions. ## **Activities:** Following pandemic restrictions, Co-ordinators and Trustees recognised the need to plan and provide a diverse range of activities for all residents. Trustees shared ideas with activities staff which led to Wynne James and Fenella Bowden collaborating in order to provide a schedule of activities focused on maintaining the mental and physical health and wellbeing of residents. Local community connections were maintained with volunteers visiting both homes to read to residents and engage in activities such as indoor and outdoor craft, raffles and quiz sessions. All monies raised went to the Residents Social Fund. Residents enjoyed a variety of trips to theatres, shopping excursions and other destinations such as Watermill at Ogmore, Weston-super-Mare, Cowbridge and the RHS exhibition/show. Roath Park continued to provide a wonderful place for residents to spend time, meeting locals whilst enjoying the rose gardens and wildlife. Residents engaged with many local people who stopped to chat and find out more about the residents themselves and Cartref. Ministers from Christchurch, Lakeside, visited in addition to visits from Reverend Cathy Gale who visited on the first Wednesday of each month. Short stories and singing sessions were popular as a result of Susan from Rhydypenau Library engaging so well. Cathedral School Year 9 soloists performed at Lake Road East with the Forget-me-Not choir performing during the latter part of the year. For those preferring quiet time, one-to-one sessions were arranged ensuring nobody felt isolated in any way whatsoever. Residents were naturally upset to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and out of respect the state funeral service was screened for those who wished to view. The Remembrance Day display at Lake Road East was particularly poignant featuring the War Horse, soldiers and delicate poppies. Residents, staff and the general public found this display respectful and subtle. Residents and Trustees reminisced of loved ones who had selflessly served their country. The festive season was full of joy with choirs visiting and plenty of activities building up to Christmas Day. Spring and Easter planning was a priority for residents who expressed a desire to plan plenty of outdoor activities during the warmer months. ## **Management:** All staff at both homes should be commended as they helped ensure steps were taken to afford residents the best possible quality of life. Catering staff provided well balanced, nutritious and wholesome meals aligned with choice. Housekeeping and laundry staff ensured the homes were clean, orderly and tidy with residents clothing laundered to an immaculate standard. Care and support staff continued to assist residents in a most appropriate and respectful manner. The maintenance team worked hard to resolve day to day issues arising within both homes. As in previous years, the upkeep of both homes remained substantial. Outside seating areas and gardens were well maintained affording fragrant, peaceful areas for residents and their visitors to enjoy. Carpets were replaced within both homes with a choice of neutral colour so those with disability and/or cognitive impairment could see their environment as clearly as reasonably possible. Previous busy patterns were deemed an obstacle due to many residents finding it difficult to determine a change in floor levels. New televisions were positioned with the use of Amazon Alexa to encourage resident participation. Large clocks were placed throughout the homes which residents found easy to view. ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES:** Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and: - 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements ● 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 proper 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 Charities Act 2011. 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. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website.
