GATESHEAD CARERS ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note I to the financial statements and comply wlth the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charltles preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102} {effective l January 20191" Objectives and activltles The charity's objects were to relieve the stresses experienced by Carers in the Borough of Gateshead and surrounding areas in particular by the provision of information, advice and support services to such persons so a5 to assist them and their dependents. Public benefit The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. Achlevements and performance Significant activities and achievements ogainst objectlves The last year has seen significant changes in our work, moving away from providing general information, advice and guidance to people providing unpaid care to our rights based approach. This decision was made because of a number of factors Firstly, our storm Caregiver report, based on our survey of unpaid carer5 in Gateshead, clearly showed that the challenges unpaid carers faced were increasing alarmingly, across all aspects of care provision and have been since our first report in 2011. This included increases in.. The number of people having to give up employment to provide care, the number of hours per week providing care, the number of years providing unpaid care, levels of social isolation, stress and anxiety, the range of caring tasks, exhaustion and the number of unpaid carers using Foodbanks. Secondly, after the LA contract for unpaid carer services was awarded to another organisation we lost SOQA of our income. Thirdly, the majority of our staff became employees of the new provider, Caregivers Connected Gateshead, under the Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment ITUPEI regulations. Fourthly, we were aware that the council did not recognise unpaid carers rights, particularly In relation to the Care Act 2014. Our challenges to council policy, processes and practice were dismissed and our ability to insist on the changes needed was fettered by GCA being under contract with Gateshead Council to deliver unpaid carer services. Fifthly, in our consultations with unpaid carers, there was overwhelming IILKI%I support for our move to rightS- based action.

GATESHEAD CARERS ASSOCIATION TrUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIREcfoRS' REPORT) {CONTINUED} FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Of course, to achieve our ambition we need funding. The board has considered two scenarios which are listed below. Worst Case Scenario If we have not Secured any of the funding we need by 31st March 2026, we will, wlth great sadness, have to begin the process of closing the organisation Best Case Scenario If we secure all of the funding needed by the end of March 2026, we will continue to grow and strengthen our rights-based approach in the ways outlined above. At the time of wrltlng thls, we are awaiting the outcomes of two funding applications. More funding applications will be submltted over the next 6 months. The situation is fluid and one large grant award can change everything. The scenarios are presented for clarity and transparency, no scenario is more or less likely to happen than the other scenario. I would like to thank my fellow board members for their support and contributions to GCA and our staff and volunteers forthe hard work, motivation and commitment they have shown over the135t year. Financial review The financial statements show a net deficit of £88,347 {2024 surplus of £58,888). In addition Cash balances remain healthy at £265,04412024 - £336,832). Within the bank the charity is holding £10,359 {2024 £46,246) on behalf of the John Haswell Memorial Trust. Reserves policy It is the policy of the cha rity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equlvalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at th15 level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be a ble to continue the charitrfs current activities whi le consideration is given to ways in whlch additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charltable expenditure; it is estimated that this currently equates to £83,000. At this level of unrestricted reserves, the charity could maintain operation for three months even if no income was being generated. Current unrestricted reserves after adjusting for fixed assets amount to £143,905. Sufficient funds have to be retained to finance the procurement contracts for the final five month5 of the contract. The charity enjoys good liquidlty and has no issue on meeting its liabilities when they are due. The trustees are confident for the next twelve months. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency bills, repair5 and other expenditure Major risks The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
