TRUSTEES’ REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

Structure, governance and management

Beacon South Yorkshire Ltd is a registered charity with the Charity Commission (charity number 1117760) and a company limited by guarantee (company number 05385670), 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, 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 staff posts 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 and achievements during the reporting period

This has been another busy and challenging year for Beacon South Yorkshire Carer Support (BSY). As with many charities, we are navigating an increasingly uncertain environment due to changes in funding streams and the wider challenges facing the voluntary sector. Despite these pressures, our dedicated team continues to work tirelessly, demonstrating empathy, professionalism and a commitment to BSY's core values of Connect, Support and Hope for unpaid carers across South Yorkshire.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone involved in our organisation for their continued commitment to supporting unpaid carers and championing our mission.

Supporting Unpaid Carers

Throughout the year, BSY has continued to provide a wide range of services and activities designed to support carers' wellbeing and reduce isolation, including:

These services have only been possible thanks to the support of the National Lottery Community Fund, and we are grateful to National Lottery players for helping to make this work possible.

Funding and Organisational Challenges

The Henry Smith Foundation has played a pivotal role in supporting BSY and we would particularly like to thank them for the flexibility they have shown in response to changing funding priorities and the challenging funding landscape.

Unfortunately, due to financial pressures, the Trustees made the difficult decision to close our Rotherham premises in August. During this transition, the team worked closely with Goodwin Commercial , our landlord, who demonstrated exceptional kindness, generosity and understanding. We are truly grateful for their support during a difficult period. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Parkgate Mobility for their continued support and understanding whenever assistance has been needed.

Our Valued Supporters and Partners

BSY is fortunate to work alongside a wide range of partners and supporters who help us deliver our services:

Listening to Carers

Providing high-quality support remains at the heart of everything we do. It is important that carers feel heard, valued and supported, and the feedback we receive continues to be overwhelmingly positive. The team regularly engages with carers to understand their needs and aspirations. While it is not always possible to meet every request, we remain committed to listening and doing everything we can to respond effectively.

Referrals continue to increase, with carers being signposted to BSY by both statutory and voluntary sector organisations. Our services offer carers additional support options and help reduce pressure on primary care services. All carers are informed about commissioned services, including Cloverleaf and Barnsley Carers Service, ensuring they can make informed choices about the support available to them.

Service Highlights

Counselling Service

Our counselling service continues to flourish, with carers reporting significant improvements in their wellbeing and resilience. We are proud to work with fourth-year counselling students from across the region, providing them with opportunities to complete the practical hours required for qualification while gaining valuable lived experience.

Relaxation and Wellbeing Therapies

Although participation levels temporarily declined, demand for our relaxation therapies quickly recovered and sessions are now fully utilised. Carers consistently tell us how valuable these opportunities are, providing much-needed respite from their caring responsibilities. Many attendees report improvements in both their mental health and overall wellbeing.

Craft & Chat and Mindfulness

Our monthly Craft & Chat sessions continue to provide social connection and creative opportunities for carers, while our fortnightly mindfulness sessions remain well attended and receive consistently positive feedback.

Governance and Leadership

The Senior Management Team has worked tirelessly throughout the year, overcoming significant challenges while maintaining a strong focus on service delivery. Through close collaboration between staff, trustees and carers, communication across the organisation has strengthened, ensuring that carers' voices remain central to decision-making. On behalf of the Board, I would once again like to thank every member of staff, volunteer and trustee for their loyalty, dedication, compassion and unwavering commitment to supporting unpaid carers.

Community Engagement and Partnership Working

BSY has continued to actively participate in local, regional and national discussions that influence carers' services and support. During the year, representatives attended:

Learning and Development

Over the last 12 months, staff and trustees have participated in a wide range of training and development opportunities, including:

Community Activities

Our monthly coffee mornings have welcomed a variety of guest speakers and organisations throughout the year. Highlights included:

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

We also held a sponsored walk that raised £600 , with an impressive 45 participants taking part.

Supporting the Next Generation

This year we were delighted to welcome a student from Barnsley College studying Digital Media. Their contribution brought fresh perspectives and valuable insight into how we can better engage younger carers through digital platforms and communications. It was a pleasure to work alongside them and we thank them for their enthusiasm and support.

Celebrating Support and Success

We extend our thanks to the Harry Bottom Charitable Trust for their support during the year for the group courses.

We were also delighted to welcome Councillor Jake Lodge as a BSY Ambassador. Councillor Lodge joined the Mayor and Mayoress of Barnsley, Councillor David Leech and Mrs Alison Leech, at our Open Day, helping to raise awareness of the vital role unpaid carers play within our communities.

Our Christmas meals in both Barnsley and Rotherham were extremely well attended and greatly appreciated by those who attended.

All service activity and outcomes continue to be recorded through the Lamplight database, helping us monitor impact and improve service delivery.

The Space for Carers platform continues to provide a safe and accessible online space where carers can access information, resources and updates relevant to their caring role.

Future Plans

The Trustees and Senior Management Team remain committed to strengthening partnerships and developing new opportunities across South Yorkshire. Regular conversations with carers ensure we continue to understand their changing needs and priorities. The team are looking at income generation to avoid drops in funding and continue to work with an external consultant. While we cannot promise to meet every challenge alone, our staff and volunteers remain dedicated to working alongside carers and adapting our services wherever possible. In the year ahead, we are particularly keen to engage with under-represented groups and broaden access to support, ensuring that all carers have the opportunity to benefit from our services.

Finally, I would like to thank our carers, staff, volunteers, trustees, funders, partners and supporters. Your continued faith in Beacon South Yorkshire carer support enables us to provide essential connection, support and hope for unpaid carers throughout our communities.

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 costs in the event of closure. Based on current levels of activity, this equates to approximately £65,000.

At the year-end, the unrestricted reserve was £61,178 which is broadly in line with the target amount (2025: £47,374). The trustees plan to maintain the level of reserves through continued 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 £184,938 in this financial year (2025: £215,163). Grants make up approximately 80% 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 £158,117, giving a surplus for the year of £26,821. (2025: a deficit of £19,374). The total funds at the year-end stand at £86,424 (2025: £59,603).

The general reserve of the charity, represented by unrestricted funds, stands at £61,178 at the year-end (2025: £47,374).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

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 2026

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. Since the end of the 5-year National Lottery grant in March 2025, the charity has been working hard to secure funding for the future of its services and a number of funding applications/initiatives are in progress.

The charity is currently able to meet all liabilities as they fall due. It is anticipated that reserves and careful monitoring of expenditure can sustain the charity until longer term funding is secured. 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

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.
