2d CARER SUPPORT WEST CUMBRIA LTD TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (Continued) for the year ended 31st March 2024 Carer Support West Cumbria now has a staff compliment of 26 making up 19.7 FTE during the financial year including management, administration and project staff. Our All Age Carers Project is our biggest project which is currently supported by the combined teams. All staff receive training on all aspects of the caring role and are encouraged to develop further areas of interest relevant to carers, e.g., mental health and dementia awarenes5. All staff also have mandatory Child Protection, Adult Safeguarding and Information Governance training and a number of our board members have also completed Safeguarding Children and Young People training. In addition, training is sought to keep our levels of staff expertise high and we aim to improve our overall competence levels year on year. Maximum use has been made of online training, for staff, volunteers and management wherever possible. This has had the net effect of maximising training and reducing training costs. Within the staff group we have staff qualified in arts, counselling, voluntary sector, social work, occupational therapy and nursing. Projects are set up andlor developed following review of carer feedback and demand and we continue to offer a variety of activities for young carers. In addition, our benefits clinics are in high demand. Our volunteer project continues to receive a high volume of reterrals for 5UPPOrt services for Cars. We continue delivery of services for carers through a contract with Cumbria County Council as part of the Carers Consortium (CSC). This contract is an "all Age Carers Contract" which covers mainly the delivery of carerfs assessments, reviews, contingency planning and some one-to -one support. FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves Policy The Board of DirectOrsrUsteeS have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed (the free reserves) held by the charity should aim to be 6 months of the resources expended in general funds. At this level the Board feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding, or a delay in funding payments being received or having to wind up certain projects. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced if activities changed. Current Financial Position During the year 2023 - 2024 Carer Support West Cumbria has not applied for any funding it has not needed for its mainstream activities and there has been manageable and planned expansion in this area. During the year we have had continued funding and support from Adult Social Care (through the consortia contract) and through independent grant funded projects. The organisation's financial position and stability has remained strong and the Charity was well able to fulfil all commitments and plans during the financial year. In addition to our rent, we continue to pay into a sinking fund set up by the landlord towards the cost of a new roof. In spite of not employing a Community Fundraiser we have, nevertheless, raised in exce55 of £11 k through small amounts of fundraising and donations. These excellent results again provide worthy unrestricted additional fund5. In Ihe absence of a Community Fundraiser all involved should be commended for their effort5 and for supporting with raising the profile of the organisation. All contingency funds, rent, utilities. insurance and redundancy have been kept fully up to date and have been adjusted when necessary in line with current costs and charges. In line with the Charity Commission rules on financial management the Board have been kept updated through receiving regular reports at the Board meetings, on the company finance5. The staff and management team led by the board have managed not only to stick to budgetary controls but on many occasions have supported with enhancing the finance5 through fundraising activities whenever an opportunity arose. The Future The current funding climate for all voluntary sector organisations remains challenging and Carer Support West Cumbria is looking at ways of making more partnershiplconsortium bids with the voluntary and statutory sector to strengthen its funding access. The Board, together with the Chief Officer will continue to investigate possible ways of generating greater amounts of unrestricted income through social enterprise or similar ventures.
