TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Structure, governance and management

Beacon South Yorkshire Ltd is a registered charity with the Charity Commission and a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated March 2005, most recently amended April 2016. Formerly Barnsley Beacon Support Services, the charity changed its name on 15 December 2017, following a rebrand and expansion of services outside of Barnsley.

The company has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. The affairs of the charity are managed by the trustees who may exercise all the powers of the charity. The trustees delegate day-to-day management of the charity to Lynda McDermott, Funding & Services Manager.

Appointment of trustees

The trustees are also directors of the company for the purpose of company law. The trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting.

Trustee training & induction

New trustees are given a copy of the volunteer’s handbook containing information about the organisation and internal policies/procedures. During the year all trustees completed training relevant to the role.

Risk management

A Risk Management Policy is in place and the trustees keep a risk register which is reviewed regularly. A major risk is the loss of funding to pay for the manager’s post and to continue the operational running of the charity. The financial position and level of reserves is reviewed at each trustee meeting and funding applications are ongoing. For other areas, systems are in place to manage the risks and to lessen the possible impacts.

Charitable aims and objectives

The principle objectives of the charity are to relieve the suffering and needs of parents and carers, primarily but not exclusively, of drug users by:

Public Benefit Statement

In shaping the objectives for the year the trustees have paid due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Chair’s Report on activities undertaken for the public benefit

This year has been another busy year for Beacon South Yorkshire carer support (BSY). The entire team continues to focus on our values Connect, Support & Hope to carers of the communities we serve. I, trustees, and the staff team, volunteers and our external supporters continue to ensure that BSY carers get the right support at the right time for them in a welcoming and friendly, inclusive environment.

Supporting carers of the community through a vast array of activities to meet the ever changing and challenging needs of carers include:

All the activities have been possible due to various funding organisations, the main one being National Lottery Community Fund (NLCF) who have supported the charity, and we thank National Lottery players once again for their support.

Many thanks to The Henry Smith Charity, (now Henry Smith Foundation) who have been instrumental in securing funds to support carers in Rotherham. As growth continues, the Rotherham team continue to raise awareness and make connections across the borough, and I am grateful to staff and volunteers for their continued passion and commitment.

As Chair of trustees, and on behalf of the trustee board here at BSY, I would like to thank everyone involved in supporting the unpaid carers, giving their support and time to other carers. We all work with empathy, not sympathy, we want to give back and support our communities and we do this with passion, understanding and dedication to our cause – a fantastic team.

BSY would also like to thank the following supporters:

Extended thanks to BMBC once again for supporting carers facing the challenges of the Costof-Living-Crisis (COLC). Most state that this has been a great help in navigating their finances and it has assisted with their lowering their stress levels.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Thanks also go out to all carers donating unwanted gifts to our fundraising efforts and to our fundraiser for her continued support in generating funds.

BSY continues to use social media, our reach is constantly rising, and the engagement increases too. We know we must move with the times, and our social media admin is doing an excellent job, and we are seeing younger carers accessing services.

We continue to recruit volunteers through our local CVS’s, word of mouth and internal posters, depending on the vacancy.

We continue to use Moorside Tech for all our IT needs and thank them for supporting us. The trustees would also like to thank the landlord at Parkgate Mobility for his continued support and maintenance of the building.

The team continue to receive excellent feedback from carers accessing the variety of activities BSY have on offer and we continue to look at various ways of developing services to meet the changing needs of this client group. All sessions are recorded on our Lamplight Database funded through NLCF.

BSY have seen an increase in referrals from various organisations across the boroughs, both statutory and third sector, building on positive relationships / partnership working. The Counselling Lead works across both communities and links in with local colleges to give 4[th] year students the opportunity to work towards their hours needed to successfully gain this qualification, giving their time to carers and experiencing real life working environments.

Relaxation and holistic therapies remain well attended and we thank 4 therapists for giving their time to support others in a lovely atmosphere that they find very relaxing. We have renamed our ‘Yoga’ sessions to ‘wellness sessions’ from feedback from volunteers and carers. We thank Willow Tree Mindful Yoga for facilitating these sessions and participating in feedback and future development of sessions for carers.

Craft & Chat sessions remain well attended and again very good feedback from carers expressing their thoughts and feelings through creativity.

Senior management continue to work with an external consultant and our accountant in developing partnerships and collaborating opportunities across both sectors. The Funding & Services Manager expresses her gratitude to both on behalf of the trustees.

Both branches completed their Safeguarding Adults at Risk, 18 attendees

Working in partnership with:

Rotherham staff also held an art exhibition completed by carers of the service which was a success.

Coffee morning speakers:

We also have a college student who joined the team in March 2025 as a placement. His course is Media Content Creation and Production (T level) and the team hope he will bring creativity and insight from a young person’s perspective.

BSY also experienced an influx in SEND parent carer referrals to the service and ran a pilot with 8 attendees over a 3-month period. The feedback was they enjoyed being able to offload with others experiencing similar challenges.

The team attended the following meetings / events held as well as hosting in-house fundraising events:

The trustees also held a review of finances and procedures with Neil Fletcher from the Cranfield Trust and our accountant, and any procedures not already in place were implemented which included finance training for finance staff.

BCVS held an emergency meeting around terrorism.

BSY received Winter Warmer packs for adults and children, through BMBC, which were distributed to the carers of the service. BSY also facilitated Welcome Warm Spaces, through BMBC funding.

BSY continue to use the private group online (which now has 66 members) Space4Carers, where information can be shared that is current and interesting. It has given the organisation hope going forward that the service can reach the younger generation of carers.

BSY continue to receive excellent and very good feedback on the services across both branches of which the whole team are immensely proud.

All session data continues to be entered into our database, Lamplight, funded through NLCF. Over the last 12 months we have seen a general increase in demand across the whole service delivery / both branches and continue to work in partnership with various organisations to serve the carers we are supporting. The Counselling Lead works across both branches and gives the students a placement in which to gain their qualifying hours and support carers of the community.

Relaxation and holistic therapies have increased over the past year and we now have 5 volunteer therapists, volunteering their time to offer carers the chance to unwind and relax. Most sessions have been well attended throughout the year and connections have been made, supporting each other and giving hope for the carer’s journey with BSY.

Senior management continue to work with an external consultant in order to identify any areas that need further development through collaboration with referral organisations across both communities. They also work closely with our accountant and thank both for their time. The trustees wish to thank the landlord at both branches for their continued support.

Future Plans

The trustees are working hard to secure the future of BSY, to maintain and further develop services for the carers of South Yorkshire. This will be done with full involvement of the carers themselves and in response to identified and changing needs. The trustees will work with an external consultant to develop a sustainability plan and will continue to work in partnership with other agencies for the benefit of the carers we support.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The charity’s policy on reserves

As a small charity, reliant on public and charitable funding, we are susceptible to factors beyond our control. Beacon trustees recognise that a certain level of funds need to be maintained to give the organisation stability to continue the running of services for the carers of the Borough. Reserves are also needed so that the charity can meet all statutory obligations in the event of winding up. The Trustees aim to hold reserves equivalent to 3 months running costs, plus a provision of £27,500 for redundancy and other closure costs. Based on current levels of activity, this equates to approximately £65,000.

At the year-end, the unrestricted reserve was £47,374 (2024: £51,496) which is below the target amount. The trustees will work towards bringing reserves in line with the agreed policy, through increased fundraising efforts and careful monitoring of expenditure.

Related parties

Related party transactions are detailed on page 17 of this report. The trustees consider that there are no other related parties to the charity.

Funds in deficit

There are currently no funds in deficit.

Statement of trustee’s responsibilities

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 at the end of the year and of the surplus or deficiency for the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

Financial Position

The financial statements are set out in pages 12 to 19. The charity received total income of £215,163 in this financial year (2024: £221,219). Grants make up over 90% of total income and full details of grants received during the year are provided on page 16 of this report. Total expenditure for the year was £234,537, giving a deficit for the year of £19,374. (2024: a deficit of £2,461). The total funds at the year-end stand at £59,603 (2024: £78,977).

The general reserve of the charity, represented by unrestricted funds, stands at £47,374 at the year-end (2024: £51,496).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

I report on the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 12 to 19.

Respective 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 charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

I have no concerns and I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

BEACON SOUTH YORKSHIRE LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. Accounting policies

Basis of the preparation of the accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Income and expenditure has been analysed in the accounts using natural classification, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.6, SORP (smaller charities). The charity also meets the requirements for exemption from preparing a statement of cash flows.

Going Concern Note

The trustees regularly review the financial position of the charity and its reserves. The 5-year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund ended in March 2025 and the charity is currently working to secure funding for the future of its services, with a number of funding applications in progress.

The charity is currently able to meet all liabilities as they fall due and the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operation for the twelve-month period following the signing of these accounts. It is therefore deemed appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Incoming resources

All material incoming resources have been included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income, when any performance conditions attached are met, when it is probable that the income will be received and when the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated goods and services

Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts at the amount the charity would pay in the open market for a service equivalent to that being donated, when the charity would otherwise have purchased them and the value can be measured reliably.

Donated goods for the charity’s own use are recognised as income, at their fair value.

The contribution of general volunteers is not recognised as income in the charity accounts.

Resources Expended

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised as a liability is incurred. The charity is not registered for VAT and accordingly resources expended are shown gross of irrecoverable VAT.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of all tangible fixed assets, with a cost exceeding £1,000, over their expected useful lives. In the year of acquisition, assets are depreciated over the full year.

The rates applicable are: Computer Equipment - 33.333% on a straight line basis Office Equipment, Furniture, Fittings - 15% on a straight line basis There were no individual assets with a value exceeding £1,000 in this financial year.

Taxation

Beacon South Yorkshire Ltd is a registered charity and is exempt from UK corporation tax on income from its charitable activities.

Funds Structure

The charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity.

Restricted funds have been provided to the charity for particular purposes and may only be spent for the purposes for which they were given. Any balance remaining outstanding on a restricted fund at the end of the year is carried forward as a balance on the fund, unless permission has been given by the funder to remove the restriction on the balance outstanding.

Funds relating to capital expenditure are transferred to a designated fund against which depreciation is charged.
