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.
