## **CAREFREE-FOSTERING INDEPENDENCE CORNWALL** 


## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Our Target Outcomes** 

During 2021 Carefree staff, Board and young people worked together to identify a set of target outcomes that we could measure our work against.  Originating as a Covid 19 Recovery Plan, the outcomes are intended to show all of Carefree’s stakeholders how our work is based in the same principles across all the areas of our work – the principles of building strong relationships, supporting young people at times of transition and enabling care experienced young people to have a voice. 

We have written this annual review against those targets, expressed in the diagram below; on the following pages, we have identified each of the individual targets and shown our progress against them, along with an example of work delivered against each outcome. 


## **120 young people are involved in 30-50 hours of peer led group activity – sports, arts and personal development** 

- Care experienced young people will develop their ability to develop positive relationships 

- Care experienced young people will develop their ability to work with others in a group setting 

- Care experienced young people will develop their ability to understand themselves and others 

- Care experienced young people will enjoy and achieve through positive activities 

- Through peer support and leadership, care experienced young people will be seen as active participants and positive role models

## **CAREFREE-FOSTERING INDEPENDENCE CORNWALL** 


## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

132 young people attended an average of 42.5 hours of group activity.   This included week-long residentials, ten week evening groups and holiday and weekend activity.  Almost all of the young people were evidenced to have increased their ability to work with others in a group setting and develop their understanding of self and others. 46 young people gained a total of 63 formal accreditations for their work including in Team work, Managing Social Relationships, Arts Award and animal care. 

## **Spotlight on… The Culture Card** 

Carefree and Cornwall Museums Partnership worked together this year to bring young people’s work towards a Culture card, allowing children and young people in care ‘plus one’ entry to many of Cornwall’s wonderful museums and galleries.  Young people worked with the Museums Partnership in a range of group work activities where, whilst forming positive relationships. offering peer support and creating their own original art work, they showed how care experienced young people can advocate for better access and inclusion, overcome barriers, celebrate creativity and share success. 

**160 – 180 young people who have been in the care of Cornwall Council for at least 13 weeks after their 14th birthday, including their 16th birthday, receive a Personal Advisor service which helps them to move into adulthood.** 

- Care leavers will be supported in their transition to independent living 

- Care leavers will be supported to succeed in education, employment and/or training 

- Care leavers will be enabled to be safe and secure, including in where they live 

- Care leavers will be supported to maintain and improve physical and mental health and wellbeing 

- Care leavers will be supported to achieve economic well being 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

Our team of Personal Advisors supported 196 young people in this way through 2021.  Supporting young people in Cornwall and undertaking out of county visits when a young person originally from Cornwall had moved, Carefree PA’s were in touch with all of the young people on their caseloads and acted as a consistent adult to support the complex move into adulthood. 

## **Spotlight on…  Care Leavers’ Photography project, April 2021** 

Personal Advisors supported young people to work with a photographer at Restormel Castle, learning to take photographs, reflecting on their own lives in a safe context and making new friends. 

**We will keep in touch with 180 young people who attend our youth and community and/or Careers IAG services at least every 3 months** 

- Young people will have a sense of ‘being held in mind’ by Carefree which will potentially impact positively on their emotional well being 

- We will be ensuring that young people know about the range of services we offer and that they can choose to participate in them 

- Young people will have the opportunity to actively engage in services that interest them 

- We will be able to make sure that the details we hold on young people are accurate and that young people continue to consent to us holding them

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

We learnt during the Pandemic how important our phone calls and exchange of texts were to the young people we work with and developing a ‘Keeping in Touch’ process this year has been a strong element of our Covid recovery.  In actual fact we were in touch in 2021 with 231 young people who came to our services on a voluntary, social education basis.  Every care experienced young person now has a ‘Keeping in Touch’ worker who will ensure that they are engaged with activities, receiving regular offers and being supported to know that they are held in mind.  One of the strongest pieces of feedback we’ve ever been given is that ‘Carefree never forgot me’.  This process will ensure that all our young people have that sense of being kept in mind. 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **25+ Celebration lunch and Graduation day, BF Adventure, October 2021** 

A group of young people who had reached 25 and were moving out of Carefree’s age range met with staff to reflect on their journey through Carefree.  Three of the young people had been with the organisation for at least ten years.  Some are continuing to volunteer for us.  Tears were shed, memories were shared and the young people confirmed that their take-way from Carefree was in the positive relationships they had developed, with youth workers, with PA’s, with each other. 

**We will help 240 young people to move through the Leaving Care process through an integrated Personal Advisor, Youth and Community and Careers IAG service.** 

- We will ensure that the range of services we offer young people are integrated 

- We will ensure that every care experienced young person who uses Carefree’s services will have an opportunity to build positive relationships 

- We will offer enhanced services based on the range of statutory and voluntary delivery that we offer, so that young people can receive an excellent Personal Advisor service combined with opportunities to meet other young people and make friends, the chance to gain accreditation, specialist support to ensure positive education and employment outcomes and the opportunity to have a voice as young people with care experience. 

- We will develop opportunities for Care Leavers to advocate for better services – particularly in terms of mental health, housing, transport, leisure facilities and employment. 

- We will develop a Housing steering group which will seek to improve housing outcomes for Care Leavers 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

In 2021 we provided an in-person support service to 286 young people aged 16 and older 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Carefree’s Housing Project** 

Towards the end of 2021 we were able to take our Housing project from an idea – from young people, staff and partners – to a reality, developing a project with the following outcomes: 

- There will be an increased range of accommodation that is available to care leavers in Cornwall 

- Care leavers are involved in developing housing options 

- Care leavers will develop skills in maintaining tenancies and caring for and maintaining their homes 

- Housing services in Cornwall become more trauma-informed and better able to support tenants with adverse childhood experiences

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

**We will help 80 – 100 young people improve their outcomes in terms of Education, Employment and Training** 

- Care experienced young people will move into, or closer to, education employment and/or training 

- Young people will increase their understanding of the work and study opportunities available to them 

- Young people who are isolated through unemployment will build the social and emotional skills they need to move into work and/or education 

- Young people will achieve accreditation for their learning 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

94 young people were helped move closer to fulfilling employment and/or education, with 25 unemployed young people now in long term employment because of our help.  63 employers agreed to consider the Care Leavers’ Covenant, where employers commit to acting as ‘Corporate Aunties and Uncles’ to care leavers. 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Carefree Drop In** 

In 2021 we developed a regular drop in for care experienced young people moving closer to employment. Sessions included making informed decisions, interview skills, CV writing, what employers are looking for, job choice, life skills, accreditation, relationship building skills and fun.  Seven young people achieved the “Understanding Self for Personal Development” accreditation and are moving on to “Preparation for employment”. 

## **We will support 5 - 10 sets of care-experienced parents and their children** 

- Care experienced young parents will increase their understanding of what ‘good enough’ parenting looks like 

- 5 - 15 children will be more likely to be safe happy and healthy as they grow up 

- Care experienced young parents will be supported to understand their own histories in the context of becoming parents 

- Care experienced young parents will be helped to improve their ability to ‘mentalise’ their child, understand what it feels like to be that child and what their needs and wishes may be 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

In 2021 we developed our commitment to the children of our care leavers, following Public Health’s commitment to the Corporate Parenting Board that we will aim for ‘no child in care to have a child in care’.   We took part in regular development sessions with health visitors and midwives on the needs of care experienced parents and helped ensure that health services automatically offered these parents an enhanced level of midwifery support. We were able to send parents baby boxes and toys for children during lockdowns and increased capacity for PA’s and youth workers to hold the children of care leavers in mind through joint training with WILD young parent’s project. 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Consultation day with young parents, December 2021** 

We worked with a group of care-experienced parents and their children about how we can support them and their children to have better lives. At the workshop young parents told us that ‘others don't get how it feels to be a care experienced and a parent' and spoke about fear and stereotypes around assessments, as well as how difficult it can be to ask for help. We are continuing to develop this project through 2022.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_

- Care experienced young people will have given feedback on the services they receive from Cornwall 

- Council 

- Cornwall Council will have been enabled to evidence 4-6 significant positive changes as a result of this feedback 

- The practice of practitioners in the service – for example, social workers, foster carers – will have been improved through the input of care experienced young people in their training

- Understanding of the lived experience of care experienced young people will influence academic and other research through Carefree’s support of research and study 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

32 young people took an active part in local participation this year.  Positive changes young people brought about included a recognition that care leavers needed better transport support, which is informing planning, a continued focus on emotional well being and mental health, enabling children and young people access galleries and museums, increased support to care experienced parents and the development of the Housing initiative. 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Carefree Zine for world leaders – and locals!** 

Young people designed, created and printed a zine for the G7 Summit expressing their views on issues they feel are important.  The exhibition was displayed at the event in Carbis Bay and then at County Hall, Truro. 

**We will enable 5-10 young people to influence national policy and practice for care experienced children and young people** 

- Care experienced young people will have had the opportunity to travel, virtually or in person, to other parts of the country to meet peers with care experience 

- Young people will be able to feed back that, through this work, they have helped influence 3-4 significant positive changes to policy and/or practice 

- Young people will be able to feed back that through this work they have improved services for themselves and their peers in terms of some or all of transport, work and employability, education, housing, physical and mental health and emotional well being 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

9 young people were involved in national participation this year which included informing a national research project on Covid, the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum, the England Care Review and the All Party Parliamentary group on children in care and care leavers.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Carefree presentation to All Party Parliamentary Group on Community, June 2021:** 



## **We will enable 20-30 young people with care experience to volunteer to support their peers** 

- Care experienced young people will have improved confidence, sense of self and employability skills through learning to be a volunteer 

- Care experienced young people will see other young people with care experience actively involved in delivering the services they attend 

- Young people – both volunteers and recipients of their support – will have improved social, emotional and mental health through positive relationships with others 

- Young people will gain accredited outcomes for their training and volunteering 

- Young people will increase in their ability to manage relationships 

- Young people will have increased self-awareness 

- Young people will have increased understanding of others 

## **Our actual outcomes:** 

26 young people supported others as peer mentors or young adult volunteers in this year.  A comprehensive training offer was provided and young people gained accreditation in areas like Interpersonal Skills, Team Work and Developing Skills for a Healthy Lifestyle.  Peer mentoring has been the bedrock of Carefree’s relationship based philosophy since we began, with 6 young people and one worker, in 2005.  A care experienced peer mentor exemplifies the values we believe in; that young people with care experience are able to do things for themselves, and to support others. 

## **Spotlight on…** 

## **Carefree pilot work with adopted young people** 

In 2021 Carefree used the learning we have developed over 18 years, and the voices of adopted young people and their parents, to develop a bespoke week for adopted young people.  We learnt from young people and their families that there were many similarities between young people who had left care to be adopted and their peers who had grown up in care.  Two adopted young people took part in Carefree peer mentor training, and two of Carefree’s existing peer mentors supported the programme’s development.  Seven adopted young people took part in this pilot, with six completing a week in October at BF Adventure.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **Working in Partnership** 

Throughout 2021, Carefree has worked closely with local and national partners who include: 

- Cornwall Council – the social workers, foster carers and PA’s who work directly with the young people we serve but also the wider local Authority as it continues to develop its ability to be a good Corporate Parent 

- Health, particularly the designated nurse team for children in care but also including health visitors, midwives, GP’s, hospitals and commissioned services like With You, Cornwall’s substance misuse partner 

- Schools and colleges 

- Voluntary and Community sector partners that Carefree has grown up with, and learnt so much from along the way – including WILD, BF Adventure, Young People Cornwall, The Learning Partnership for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Barnardos and the CAB 

## **Financial review** 

The results for the year are shown in the statement of financial activities on page 12 and show net (outgoing)/ incoming resources for the year of £133,581 (2020: £231,537), a surplus of £57,189 was generated in respect of unrestricted funds (2020: £17,547). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity holds three months running costs plus closure costs at year end in line with its reserves policy. This is monitored monthly.  The current balance in general reserves (excluding the capital reserve) is £84,458 which is assessed as adequate to support the organisation's financial stability going forwards. 

## **Investment policy** 

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and find that the current arrangement with short term bank deposits meets the requirement to generate a reasonable return on capital whilst maintaining access to funds for operational purposes. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have examined the major strategic risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to minimise or mitigate these. The trustees will continue to review potential risks on a regular basis and will take further action to minimise or mitigate these risks as required. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

Carefree has built on our learning in the last year and will be developing work in the future which enables more care experienced young people to have a good life. 

In 2022 we will continue to focus on enabling care experienced young people to have positive relationships, support them at times of transition and enable them to have a voice. We will use these strategies to develop our services in several areas, including 

- Developing a range of work that supports care experienced young people into better housing 

- Offering bespoke support to separated children seeing asylum 

- Working with key partners across Cornwall’s Corporate Parent which ensure that young people receive high quality, trauma informed services in which their voices are clearly listened to and heard. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Carefree - Fostering Independence Cornwall is a company limited by Guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 January 2008 and amended 23 May 2008. It became a registered charity with the Charity Commission on 12 June 2008.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF CAREFREE-FOSTERING INDEPENDENCE CORNWALL** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Carefree-Fostering Independence Cornwall (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination,  I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Carefree-Fostering Independence Cornwall is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Clinton Passage, REDRUTH, Cornwall, TR15 2AY.  In the event that the charity is wound up the members agree to contribute an amount of not more than £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.  The members of the charity are the trustees named on the legal and administrative information page. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.  All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Governance costs** 

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line basis 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.12 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**_ 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
