## **Objectives and activities**
To relieve children and adults with learning disabilities by the provision of practical advice, guidance, training and support in such other ways as the centre shall determine, to their parent carers/unpaid carers.
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

## **Achievements and performance 2023-24**
The charity has delivered vital support services for parent carers over the 2023-24 financial year. The charities achievements and performance are as follows.
- Successfully meeting the challenge of helping increased numbers of parent carers and their families to access the correct services, empowering them to have a life of their own and get the best care for their child/children. This year we have supported 688 individual parent carers in areas as diverse as education, transition, safeguarding, maximising income, housing, benefits support, care services, bereavement, immigration, and skills/capacity development.
- Our team of experienced staff, supported by our dedicated volunteer team, have performed 1884 support activities for our service users.
- We have delivered 66 parent carer wellbeing events and activities during this year. We have primarily used our Support Centre building for carers to enjoy various events and activities. We were also able to take our parent carers on 5 daytrips away, and 7 local outing i.e. afternoon tea parties. The wellbeing of our carers is of paramount importance to us and believe these events and activities help to improve the mental health and wellbeing, and reduce the social isolation experienced by many carers.
- We completed over 568 pamper sessions for our service users. We provide pamper sessions such as, nail treatments, massages, facials, and many other beauty treatments with a qualified nail technician and beautician to help the carer unwind and enjoy some ‘me time’.

- DWP Benefit appeals and tribunals has resulted in tens of thousands of pounds back dated disability benefits as a result of our dedicated volunteer benefits advisor support. Many parent carers have been supported through re-assessment and appeal processes.
- We have maintained contracts with existing funders and have generated new income streams to reduce reliance on local authority funding in times of austerity.
- We have liaised with commissioners, planners and funders to ensure that the needs of parent carers remain high on their list of priorities.

## **Financial review**
At the end of the 2023/24 financial year we are very happy to be in a healthy financial position with £236,938 funds held.
Our main local authority contract is reviewed annually and we have been informed that we have assurances that the contract will run until 31 March 2025, with the intention to review our service to ensure that the specialist support and advice services are closely aligned to adult social care delivery of core statutory and wellbeing duties.
We have completed the first of our 3 year funding from ‘Our Manchester’ for £120,000 over the next 3 years (2023-26). An additional local authority grant for the childrens services will also run until 31 March 2025 and will be subject to the same conditions as both the Main and ‘Our Manchester’ contracts.
We are continuing to work hard to diversify our funding streams to ensure long term sustainability, and also that we are in a position to best meet the demand for support from our carer communities.
## Reserves policy
Our reserves policy, agreed by trustees, is to maintain a minimum of three months core running costs in reserve. In addition there is explicit provision made for any potential Redundancy and Notice liabilities. This is reviewed on an annual basis and for the financial year 2023-24, this amounted is set to £160,000. Our unrestricted reserves are held in the Talbot House Support Centre Fixed Rate Deposit account at the NatWest Bank.
The unrestricted funds in reserve are sufficient to meet short term operational costs and this enables the charity to cope with unplanned events. Very often, the effects of events can be managed in the long term, but the charity needs reserves in the meantime. The reserves policy takes into account the nature of the charity’s activities and the level of external risk perceived by the trustees. It will also depend on what other action the charity is taking to mitigate the effects of the external threats, as this will affect the level of risk.
The organisation will attempt to maintain an overall target level to accommodate any changes to service funding. We would take advantage of the notice periods on funding arrangements to allow us to remodel the service if required. The Trustees will review the level of reserves annually and monitor

during the course of the year as part of the charity’s budgetary process in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
## **Plans for the future**
Our 2023-26 business strategy has four key aims to:
- Continue to provide a comprehensive service to parents of people with learning disabilities at all stages of their lives.
- Ensure the financial sustainability of the organisation.
- Develop and grow the THRIVE, and a new ‘Carers with Young Adults Transition’ projects over the coming years.
- Develop awareness of Talbot Houses’ services among parent carers and among the wider community as an important local charitable cause.
The focus for 2023 – 2026 will retain the four key aims but with an increased emphasis on the financial sustainability of the organisation.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Trustees are recruited through advertising with the local volunteer bureau or at the recommendation of other trustees/supporters of Talbot House. The process for becoming a trustee is an informal interview where the prospective trustee is provided with a role description and their interests and commitment are discussed. Trustees are then elected by the board having first been proposed by one of them. No other external person or body is entitled to appoint trustees.
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 28[th] September 2009 and registered as a charity on 17th November 2009.
The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. The charitable objects were amended and approved November 19 2018 in order to allow Talbot House Support Centre to best meet the needs of parent carers in the future.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. In the financial year 2023/24 there were no expenses paid to our trustees. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 12 to the accounts.
## Remuneration policy for key management personnel
In setting the pay for the charity’s key management and personnel, we use the Local Authority pay scales as guidance. However please note none of our key management staff have received any significant pay rise or increment for several years.

## Risk management
Talbot House has a risk management policy which is reviewed annually. This sets out the major risks to the charity and details the actions required in the event of any of these risks becoming reality. In addition at every board meeting the financial risks are reviewed using the treasurer’s report and cashflow to anticipate and take timely action in the event of financial risks. All required policies are in place and reviewed annually and updated as required.

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees (who are also directors of Talbot House Support Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.

## to the trustees of
## Talbot House Support Centre
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 which are set out on pages 9 to 23.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company 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 your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

Talbot House Support Centre
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
## **1 Accounting policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## **a Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Talbot House Support Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
## **c Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
12
Talbot House Support Centre
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
## **d Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **e Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **f Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading including Good as New, Fundraising event and their associated support costs.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of Support Centre undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **g Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Asset Category Annual rate Equipment 33%
## **h Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
13
Talbot House Support Centre
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
## **i Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **j Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **k Pensions**
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
The money purchase plan is managed by NEST Plc and the plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan a pension fund which is then converted into a pension upon the employee’s normal retirement year age when eligible for a state pension. The trust has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions. There were no contributions outstanding at the year-end.
## **2 Legal status of the charity**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
