Trustees. Report
A four bedroom Victorian property has been Lmwght to provide respite care for four individuals. This
propety is situated in the h@art of LInth0￿e. It has been improved and refurbished with full planning
permission to set up a building based service. The certificate of lawfvjlness has been obtained from
the council. Currently, we have one resident living in the propety who VRS placed on emergency
placement and is vrditing to be moved into a residential *tting .on a permanent basis. An application
to register this propety with CQC as a respite home has b￿n made.
A three bedroom property on the outskirts of Acklam, was purchased two years ago to place a young
woman at the Nuest of NECS commissioning unit. The property has b￿n fully improved and
refurbished to meet CQC stsndards to register as a iwo bedroom residential home for aduts with
learning disabilitieslautism. An application to the CQC has been made to register this property.
Aapna purchased another property in Linthorpe to set it up as a two bedroom ￿SIdential home. Once
the propety has been registered the charty will move a resident into this property as their permanent
residential placement. This property was purchased within the clc>se vicinity of the person's current
acrJ)mmodation, keeping the young person's psychological needs in mind. A fvll team of
professionals from different agencies r8sponsible for the care of this young person has been fvlly
involved in the process and recommended the suitabilty of the propety. An occupational therapist
from the disability services is involved in the preparation and refvrbishrnent of the building. The
alterations to this property are cutrently ongoing. An application to register this propety with CQC has
been made.
Dementia Service: Regular referrals from the Older People Mental Health team are received to
provide care or on&tO-one support at home. All the staff who work with dementia patients have a
minimum level 2 in Dementia Awareness training.
Home Care setv1￿. This was one of the core ServI￿S Aapna provided to the communities. W8
provided support to individuals to keep them living independently in the community as long as
possible. This servi￿ was sold to a third party during the year.
Counselling: The bilingual counsellor has been with ￿pna for sev8ral years and has been
consistently providing this valuable servi￿ to BAME communities. We have noticed the change in the
trends of the referrals. More and more individuals are walking through the door and self-referring for
this service. The counsellor delivers this vital ser¥ice trj anyone from the Tees Valley. Our contract
funding had ended with Alliance, but we negotiated with CCG who agreed to carry on funding this
valuable seNice via A]liance Psychological Services.
Financlal review
This year has seen a drop in the net income for the chanty mainly due to the sale of domiciliary home
care servic85 during the year. There are also some other contributory factors, such as the rise in the
minimum wage, staff sickness levels, and local authorities have kept the unit cost for all contracted
services to a minimum, reduGing the net income margin.
During the year, the domiciliary home Ca￿ Servi￿ was sold, so that the Gharity can concentrate on
developing the Short Break servi￿ and Residential Gare SeNices. Free reserves at the end of March
2024 were £2,530,600. The trustees aim to maintain free resetves, being residual reserves after
allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets, of approximately 9 to 12 months running costs. The
free reserves viill also be used to carry out the refurbishment of the above properties and continuously
maintain and improve the properties. Once the current properties are up and running Suc￿sSfUlly. the
trustees will consider purchasing additional properties, if the. Respite Care and Residential .Care
ServI￿S prove to be Suc￿sSfUl.
The trust&s would like to take thbs OPFQrtunty to thank the staff. volunteers and Servi￿ users for
their hard work and c(Foperation throughout the year.

events or conditions thal individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's abilty
to continue as a going conGem for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial
statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concem are

required to detemiine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial ststements or a

Responslbilities of trnstees
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial ststements and for b8ing satisfied that
they give a true and fair view, and for 5uth intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are fr* fr(rn material misstatemenc whether due
to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees a￿ responsible for assessing the charity's ability to
continue as a going conGem. disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the
going concem basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the chaiity or to ￿ase
operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so.
Auditor responsibiltties for the audit of the flnancial statements
Our objectives are to obtsin reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report
that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a hgh level of assurance, but is not a guarantse
that an audit conducted in accordan￿ with ISAS (UK) will ahmays detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material rf, individually
or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users
taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Aapna Services Ltd
Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members of Aapna Services Ltd
Irregularlties, including fraud. are Instan￿ of r￿)n-￿mplIance wlth laws and regulations. We. design
procedures in line with our responsibilib'es. OLrtlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent ta which our pre￿du￿ are capable of detectin9
irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We gained an understanding of the 18gal and regulatory framewo￿ applicable to. the charity and
considered the risks of acts by the charity that are contrdry to applicable laws and regulations,
including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risK ￿¢c￿nIsing that the risk of not
detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is hoher than the risk of not detecting one ￿suIting
from emr, as fraud may involve deliberate COn￿alment by. for example, forgery or intentional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Based on our understrdnding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates. we
identified that the principal risks of non-complian￿ with laws and regulations related to social care,
safeguarding, employmen( health and safety regu￿tionS and charity law.we also considered those
laws and regulations that have a dirert impact on the financial statements including, but not limited to.
the Charities Act 2011. Companies Act 20C6, Charities (Accounts and Reports Regulations) and the
Charities SORP (FRS 102). Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to
underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management We also addressed the risk of
management override of intemal controls. including evaluating whether there Nvas eviden￿ of bias by
the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that some material
misstatements in the financial statements may not be de￿ted. even though the audit is properly
planned and performed in accordan￿ with the ISAS (UK). For instan￿. the further removed non
Complian￿ is from the events and transactions refiected in the financial statements, the less likety the
auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-complian￿.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reportsng Gouncil's website at www.fr&org.ukJauditorsresponsibilities. This description

Tangible f￿ed assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cosc and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Any tsngible assets carried at revalued arnounts are recorded at
the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and
subsequent accumulated impaimient losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impaiment that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation. is recognised in other recognised gains and losses.
ex￿pt to which it offsets any previous revalualion gain. in which case the loss is shown within other
recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asseL less its residual value,
over the useful econornic Itfe of that asset as follows-
Asset class
Freehold propety
Motor vehicles
Equipment
Depreciation method and rate
20/0 straight line
25% straight line
25Ok straight line
Impairment of r￿ed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators extsL INhere the carrying valu8 exceeds the
recoverable amoun( the asset is impaired accordirKJly. Prior impairments ar8 also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purpose of impaimient testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of
an individual asset an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that
includes the asset and generates cash inflows th* largely independent of the cash inflovB from other
assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is. from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating unts that are expeGted to benefrt from the
synergies of the combinats"on, irrespeGtive of whether other assets or liabilrties of the charity are
assigned to those units.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. Where necessary. adjustments
are made to the financial ststements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with
those used by the charity. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated
on consolidation. In accordan￿ with Sectton 35 of FRS 102, Section 19 of FRS 102 has not been
applied in these financial statements in respect of business comts'nations effected prior to the date of
transition.
