Achievements and perforn)ance
Care Nehvork Cambridgeshire exists to enable individual clients and communities to live happier. I￿atthIer, and
independent lives. We do this by giving practical and emotional support after a hospitsl stay, or a period of ill
health and helping local people reconnect with their communities.
Our vision for communities and individuals to be empowered to live happier, healthier and independent lives,
enabling individuals to choose their own independent lifestyle and social activities, provided with as much
information and support as they need. The health and well-being of individuals is improved or maintained,
hospital stays are minimised. and recovery is as fast as possible. Communities involve local people to support
each other both individually and through groups and activities.
Our achievements within the last 12 months to deliver upon these goals of supporting residents of
Cambridgeshire & Peterborough are...
Help at Home: Received 794 referrals and had 6,580 contacts delivering 2,104 hours of support to clients,
hospital teams and community servi￿$ over the year. including a surge in demand around winter, and the
continued challenges faced by Covid. when hospital admissions were at their highest. Through our Coordinators
and wonderful network of volunteers. we provided practical and emotional support to individuals and their
families to allow that person to recover from a spell in hospital. or to avoid hospitsl adrn1ttan￿ and remain
independent. Our volunteers provided help v4ith tasks such as shopping, collecting prescriptions, litht housework
and laundry and providing weffare checks, invaluable help to the people we support. At the heart of everything
we do is the principle of 'Whal Matters to Me., ensuring individual circumstances and needs are always upper
most in our consideration and support Help at Home provides a wraparound service that works in partnership
with organisations across different sectors to achieve outcomes that matter to the person in tems d their health
and wellbeing. To achieve this. we work closely with our colleagues within Care Network, signposting to local
services, and encouraging involvement in local community activities, to help reduce loneliness and isolation.
Community Navigators: Received 2,670 referrals and had 18,357 contacts, delivering 3,052 hours of support to
Cambridgeshire people, to provide information and guidance to help people consider their options and live well
improving personal circumstances and wellbeing. The team are local experts working alongside dients to provide
information and guidance to help them live Y￿11. aiming to bndge the gap be￿een local communities, statutory
and voluntary organisations to maintain and improve the health, wellbeing, and independence of clients by
helping them find and access localised solutions The team help people to use information to answer questions
and enable them to do things for themselves, assists'ng them lo overcome barriers and to make use of relevant
activities and services. The Navigator team continue to focus on utilising a data-led approach to infomi their

TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Wellbelng Servlce.. The escalation of mentsl ill health in our high-risk dient groups in re￿nt years prompted us
to invest in further development of our bespoke Wellbeing seprfice Wellbeing staff and trained volunteers worked
alongside clients to enable them to feel better equipped to cope with their concems and feelings so they could
enjoy life more. The service also offered regular telephone calls from a 14 Check and Chal volunteers, or support
accessing their local community from 6 local Trusted Friend volunteers.
Through 243 referrals and 1,847 contacts V4ith clients delivering 676 hours of support, our specialist team and
volunteer support empowers people by providing the infomiation and support to tackle underlying ISSLES, and
strategies and resources to manage longer-lemi emotional stability. The service has proven positive outcomes,
boosting confiden￿, independen￿, and social connection. providing strength-based tailored one-ti>one support
for people feeling low or anxious to help them develop coping strategies, make personal connections, and
building resilience.
Healthy Fenland: Supported 164 groups, providing community development with a specific aim to help the
residenls of Fenland identify and address Iheir health and wellbeing needs. as well as taking ownership of their
communities and challenges. The project was designed to improve Community Resilience, Health and Wellbeing
(Public Health England, 2015) and used an asset-based approach to community engagement with a small pot of
funding that groups could access to develop their projects The project ended at the end of the contract in
December 23. in the final 9 months the team focused on combating increased health inequalities by offering
guidance and support to local groups. to follow regulations ensuring psychological and practical safety and
confiden￿.
VSA: Last year we formally collaborated with hvo other local voluntary sector partners and formed The Voluntary
Sector Alliance. together we agreed our key vision. looking for synergies and how to make the best use of our
resources by leading the way in providing a single point of access for Voluntary and Community Sector support
for hospital discharges and admissions avoidance to support more people to leave hospital safely, to help avoid
unnecessary admissions to hospital and to aid Independen￿ at home for the population of Cambridgeshire and
Peterborough. The VSA provides a collaborative approach to wraparound support to provide the best outcomes
for the patient and confidence for the referrer that their patient will be supported in a timely and holistic rnanner.
Working in partnership, each member of the VSA can flex and adapt their resourcing across the county with the
support of the other organisations. enabling more referrals to be managed and more people supported. A
bespoke portal was developed to accept referrals, the ser¥ice become operational and was rolled into hospitals
from October 2023 and continues to develop, providing an innovative hospital discharge support service across
discharge planning in the three acute hospitals in the area. Since the start of the Servi￿ in October, we have
accepted 103 referrals and have had 1.053 contacts.
In next 12 month period, challenges remain to resources both within the NHS and social care, we face both
continuing demand fof our services, together with an increasingly complex caseload whilst changes in national
health and social care policy continue to come into effect and implications of possible political change on the
horizon is unknown. Whilst exciting, this creates challenge within the sector. CNC will continue to use its
presence within the local system. where we are highly valued, to ensure thal decisions are made, and ways of
working explored and developed to support identified need We believe in 'working v￿th, people and communities.,
not 'doing to, them
We will continue to approach this through collaboration with partners, clEnts, and
communities to adapt and develop services to meet needs, help and empower people We will seek ways to
expand, evaluate and further develop the VSA service. Including the aim to further deploy the system to hospital
wards. Our Wellbeing service has been redesigned to meet current user needs, the team has been expanded
and now provides cover across Ihe county Unfortunately, the Healthy Fenland project was not recommissioned
at the end of the last contracl and sadly ended at the end of December 2023. Internally we will be reviewing our
volunteer offering, to deliver a more rewarding experience and remain focused on trustee recruitment. to provide
succession planning. Work will continue on the development of a new strategic plan, determining the charity's
development over the next 3-year period.
We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to our staff, volunteers and partners for their continued
professional commitment and dedication to 'keeping people at the heart of everything., If you like vthat you see,

Fundraising policy
The charity does not actively fundraise amongst the public. although it does hdd occasional fundraising events
(online fundraising campaigns etc).
The charity does not use any outside or third paty fundraisers. Vvhere the charity does receive dtTtations (which
it considers unsolicited) it monitors the source to ensufe it is suitable to receive the donab-on in terms of potential
vulnerability of the donor or reputational risk to the chanty.
No complaints have been received by the charty.
Financial review
The charity had total funds of £530,240 (2023 - £567,683) at the year end. of wthich it considers £190.369 free
(2023 - £186,001). The trustees consider the posits'on satisfactory. The principal financial risk to the charity is the
withdrawal of grant income from its main funders. The trustees consider the reseNe level sufficient to cover such
funding shortfall in the short tem.
As part of the annual budgeting process, trustees consider the desirable level of free unrestricted reserves for the
coming year. The charity uses these reserves in a variety of ways including pump priming of new services,
support for existing ServI￿S where funding has fallen short of expenditure and to fund the liabilities in the event
of closure of the charity. The annual review takes into account the current level of expenditure for Care Ne￿Ork
Cambridgeshire, an assessment of the risk regarding the main source of income. the trends and pressures on
grant funding and the level of reserves that can be realistically achieved. The trustees will annually review the
evidence and agree an appropriate level of reserves. This review will incorporate an ath'on plan to increase
reserves if necessary and set guidelines for spending against the reserves. Progress against the action plan will
be monitored by the trustees at their regular meeting and any investment decisions will tske into account the
required reserve level. The trustees also take into account that some of their designated funds and restricted
funds cover some of the charity's core activities and have decided that a tw￿steP pro￿$$ is appropriate to
quantifying an appropriate range of resepdes:
To maintain free, unrestricted funds at a minimum level of 2 months operating costs (currently estimated
at £175.402). Actual free reseries are currently above this level.
To maintain free, unrestricted funds plus designated and restricted funds that cover some of the charty's
core activities be￿een 3 and 6 months operating costs. This equates to between £263,203 and
£526,206 and the relevant reserves cover this.
Rlsk management
The trustees has 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.
The trustees are committed to an ongoing policy of identifying. monitoring and managing all operational, financial
and strategic risk. The trustees regulady review key risks vthich are rated based on severity and likelihood of
Occurren￿ and ensure that appropriate mrtigalions are in place to protect the charity.

by a Memorandum and Articles ofAssociation. Its unincorporated predecessor charity. Care Network, was

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CARE NETWORK CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Oplnlon
We have audited the financial ststements of Care Network Cambridgeshire (the 'charity') for the year ended 31
March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet. the statement of cash flows and
the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of signfficant accounting policies. The financial reporting

CARE NETWORK CAMBRIDGESHIRE
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF CARE NETWORK CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Responslbllltles of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the
charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such intemal control as the trustees detemiine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. vthether due to fraud or
error. In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concem and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the truslees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responsibllltles for the audit of the flnancial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance al)OLrt whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditols report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bLrt is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if. individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influen
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Finanaal Reporting Council's website at.. https'.11
W¥V.frc.org.ukJauditorsresponsibilits'es. This descnption foms part of our auditorfs report.
Extent to which the audlt was considered capable of detecting irregularltles, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities. outlined above and on the Financial Reports'ng Council's website. to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understsnding of the entlty, its activities, its control environment, and likely future
developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entty is complying
with that framework. Based on this understanding. we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perfonn audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes
consideralion of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and n0￿complIance with laws and regulats"ons, including fraud, we designed
procedures which included..
Enquiry of management and those charged wth govemance around actual and potential litigation and
claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud..
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governan￿.,
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material
effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection..
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess complian
with applicable laws and regulations..
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls. including testing of
journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the nomial couptse of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of
potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities. including those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noTrcompliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected
in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noTrcompliance. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentstions. or the override of intemal control.
