Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

Structure, governance and management

Enfield Carers Centre (ECC) is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 February 2010 and registered as a charity on 27 January 2011. The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association last updated 26 April 2020. The Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the Annual General Meeting. Appointment and retirement of Trustees is in accordance with the Articles of Association. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

The Trustees are responsible for making the charity's strategic decisions, they meet every other month for general meetings and hold additional Finance and Marketing & Comms sub-group meetings as well as the Annual General Meeting. The day-to-day operations of the charity are managed by the Senior Management Team: CEO and the Operational Director/Deputy CEO. The middle Management team: Homecare Manager, Carers Advice & Support Manager, Young Carers Project Manager, Healthcare Support Manager and Service Development Manager report to the Senior Managers and meet quarterly. Operational Reports are compiled and presented by the CEO, Operational Director and Homecare Manager at every board meeting. Occasionally, Trustees hear presentations directly from Middle Managers as part of the Board meeting which describe project activity and outcomes in greater detail. Such presentations include case studies, qualitative and quantitative data. The Treasurer receives detailed financial reports from the Finance team prior to each Board meeting. The reports detail the cash position of the organisation, the income and expenditure report of the organisation as a whole and a utilisation and forecast report for the Homecare division. Trustees also consider financial/management account reports at every Board meeting.

The organisation advertises for Trustees via Reach or appoints them on recommendation. Trustees with the appropriate skill sets are appointed and training is given to all incoming Trustees as part of their induction training. Training is sourced from NCVO or Enfield Voluntary Action. Trustees then receive a copy of the charity's governing document, last set of accounts, the latest Carer Voice Newsletter and Charity Commission Publications including: The Essential Trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do (CC3); Charity Trustee: what's involved (CC3a).

The Trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have satisfied themselves that systems or procedures are established to manage those risks. The organisational risk register documents risk which specifically relate to funding uncertainty or withdrawal, regulated care provision and safeguarding risks

Enfield Carers Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The pay and remuneration of the charity’s key management personnel is set by the Board of Trustees following initial discussion of benchmarks, parameters and criteria at the Finance Sub-Group level and reports and recommendations provided by the Chief Executive.

ENFIELD CARERS CENTRE OBJECTIVES

The charity's purpose as set out in its Memorandum and Article of Association are as follows:

The relief of persons in need by reason of age, physical or mental disability, ill health, financial hardship or other disadvantage by the provision of advice, support and information to such persons and to those caring for such persons, principally but not exclusively in the London Borough of Enfield.

The relief of sickness, the preservation of health and the promotion of well-being, principally but not exclusively among persons residing permanently or temporarily in the London Borough of Enfield.

The assistance of Carers in need by raising awareness of issues affecting Carers, principally but not exclusively in the London Borough of Enfield.

The charity's aim is to improve the lives of Carers in Enfield by providing a recognisable and easily accessible resource providing advice, information, training, support, breaks, counselling and reliable high-quality homecare services which meet the needs of Carers and their cared for persons.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

Carers Support

Enfield Carers Centre's (ECC) successfully retendered for its main council contract and has won a refreshed 9-year contract with Enfield Council to deliver carers support services until 2034. This is excellent news for the charity and ensures continuity of a quality Carer support service for Enfield residents who support a loved one or relative.

The new caring services contract includes advice and support services, Carers' breaks, counselling, wellbeing support, a training and information programme, GP & hospital support and a benefits advice Service. Enfield Carers Centre continues to offer and deliver replacement care and emergency respite cover via its own homecare service or other local providers already known to Carers and their families, subject to demand.

On 31[st] March 2025 a total of 7,947 (2024: 7,466) Adult Carers were listed on the Enfield Carers Centre Carers Register. The total number of Adult Carers signed up on the Council’s Carers Emergency Card Scheme was 927 (2024: 898). This is an important contingency arrangement as the scheme administered by Enfield Carers Centre, which is free to Carers, provides them with peace of mind whilst they're out and about, knowing that in the event that they are caught up in an emergency situation which prevents them from returning home to their loved one, the Council's Safe & Connected scheme will ensure their emergency contacts will be informed and the emergency plan will be put into action.

Enfield Carers Centre hosts several support groups - specialist ones such as Dementia Carers, Learning Disability Carers and a Bereaved Carers support programme. We also host generic groups such as the quarterly Carers Essentials group for new and working Carers. During the year covered by this report, 7134 Carers received a variety of support services including: advice, information and/or signposting by

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

telephone, help with grants, supporting emails or face-to-face and 496 (2024: 275) Carers attended our training workshops/sessions.

It's important that Carers are able to enjoy a break from caring, so Enfield Carers Centre organise a variety of social and leisure breaks. This year 918 (2024: 867) Carers enjoyed breaks through our ‘’Time For A Break’’ scheme. As well as regular weekly activities such as chair exercise classes, heavily subsidised complimentary, creative writing & visual arts workshops, coffee & chat events and the monthly support groups mentioned above, Carers were also able to enjoy the following additional breaks:

Homecare Provision

By the end of March 2025, Enfield Carers Centre regularly provided an average of 2,535 hours of homecare visits each month. Building on our ‘’GOOD’’ rating with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) Enfield Carers Centre continues to provide professional homecare services including a range of personal care and other services. During the year 2024-25 covered by these audited accounts, the number of homecare hours provided were approximately 30,423. Similar to previous financial years, the types of care we offered included: short visits throughout the day; live-in-services; 24 hours palliative care; sleep in care and emergency respite cover.

We also provided free replacement care for Carers booked to attend training, counselling sessions or other activities provided by Enfield Carers Centre. We understand that reliable, quality homecare from a trusted provider is crucial to family Carers having a well-earned break and will continue to maintain and improve the quality of our care provision.

Carers Benefits Advice Service

In July 2024, a replacement Benefits Adviser was recruited after a pause in service when our previous employee Marion Cooke sadly passed away. During the period from July 2024 to the end of March 2025, our Adviser provided 230 services, including advice and form filling support for 170 individual Carers.

A total of £257,036 per year was brought into the borough directly as a result of our Adviser’s form filling and advice service. In terms of total individual financial outcomes, monetary awards reported by 52 Carers meant that 50 of them were nearly £100 per week better off following their application. Two Carers received one-off payments totalling £2,812. On average Carers who reported the outcome of applications Enfield Carers Centre made on their behalf, were better off by an average of £5,140.72 per year.

Carers Ambassadors

Enfield Carers Centre supported four Carers Ambassadors during 2024-25 The Ambassadors’ main role is to help family Carers identify themselves with the term "Carer" and understand what support is available for them in Enfield. The Ambassadors also help increase awareness of Carers' needs amongst

5

Enfield Carers Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

our Primary Care and Health and Social Care colleagues. The Ambassadors also gather feedback on Carers’ experiences of statutory services.

Each Ambassador has live experience of caring for someone with either a learning or physical disability, mental ill health or looking after a frail, elderly person. The Ambassadors reach out to other Carers in the community by attending Carer support groups and hosting information stands in various libraries and other venues. They have also helped Enfield Carers Centre host weekly information stands at North Middlesex and Chase Farm Hospitals. Together with Enfield Carers Centre staff, the Ambassadors also help the Centre maintain its regular presence at the North Middlesex University Trust Hospital’s Community Action Hub which is shared with a range of voluntary and community sector organisations from both Enfield and Haringey. The presence of Carer Ambassadors has definitely increased the number of referrals received from Primary and Secondary healthcare venues.

During 2024-25 the Carers Ambassadors visited all Enfield GP practices on a regular basis, raising staff awareness and delivering the Carers Voice newsletter. The Ambassadors supplement Enfield Carers Centre's marketing and communications work by raising our charity’s visibility, spreading our promotional literature throughout the community and ensuring GPs have our service literature to hand and can make referrals easily.

Sadly, during the year, two of the Ambassadors stepped down for reasons of ill health, increased caring responsibilities and other circumstances. Enfield Carers Centre is, therefore, currently seeking three replacement Ambassadors covering the following disability areas: mental health, physical and sensory impairment and older people/frailty.

GP & Hospital Support Projects

Designated funds continue to be set aside by Trustees for this key service area as Carers continue to need assistance liaising with their GP practices and in hospital settings. During 2024-25 Enfield Carers Centre staff provided a regular presence in both primary and secondary care venues with the help of Ambassadors and other volunteers.

In addition, Senior Managers at Enfield Carers Centre continue to raise awareness via more strategic routes with staff attendance and representation on several strategic boards and health authority panels.

In previous years, our hospital referral numbers were slightly lower due to recruitment issues with our hospital support post. However, since receiving ICB funding for a part time Carers Communication Coordinator post at North Middlesex Hospital, identifying and assisting Carers with discharge matters and having a regular volunteer presence at Chase Farm Hospital – progress has been strong. A total of 358 new Carers were referred via Enfield GP surgeries and the Local hospitals. This is broken down as follows.

152 (2024: 117) new Carers were referred via GP surgeries

206 (2024: 103) new Carers were referred via Enfield's local hospitals

CEPN (Community Education Provider Network) Safer Discharge Project

The project has now been formally closed, following useful work as Enfield Carers Centre guided the project forward. By mutual agreement with the Mental Health Trust, the training videos were replaced by a library of resources hosted on the centre’s website. It was agreed that this was a more appropriate option, allowing change and development. The opportunity of adding to and using this facility remains open to the North London Mental Health Partnership.

In addition, the Centre has presented to several corporate induction sessions at the Partnership, which have been well received. The Centre now hosts an information and advice stand at the Partnership once a month, which is proving useful to staff and patients. In both cases the Centre is willing to continue these initiatives. Although the project is signed off, the centre remains open to and keen on building on the collaborative work that it initiated.

EyPIC (Enfield Young People In Caring) Young Carers Project – Big Lottery Reaching Communities Funding

Our Young Carers Project, funded by the Big Lottery Reaching Communities Fund, provides support to over 600 children aged between 5 – 18 years who have a caring role and live in Enfield. Our Young Carers service has 3 full-time members of staff: a Project manager, a School Liaison Officer and a Family Support Officer. During 2024-25, 144 new Young Carers aged 5 – 18 years were registered, assessed and received tailored support.

Our Young Carers Project offers support, advice and information to Young Carers and their families. We offer a range of respite activities, both in term-time and during the school holidays, many of these with free transport provided to enable Young Carers to attend safely. Through these activities, the Young Carers enjoy a break from caring and meet other Young Carers, so they feel less alone and have a peer support network. We have increased the number of sessions targeted at specific age groups – particularly 14 – 18-year-olds and 5 – 8-year-olds.

Activities for Young Carers in 2024-25 included:

Home from Hospital Project – Partnership Agreement with Alpha Care Ltd

The partnership working arrangement with Alpha Care Specialists is contracted by Enfield Council and is due to cease at the end of May 2025. Enfield Carers Centre has provided a Carers Hospital Discharge Support Officer 7 hours each week. During the year covered by this report Enfield Carers Centre continued promoting the Home From Hospital Project with Hospital staff, particularly the Discharge Teams to encourage increased referrals for the Alpha Care Home from Hospital project and support patients and their families with a safer discharge.

Our main activity is at North Middlesex University Hospital (NMUH) on a weekly basis primarily, operating from the Community Advice Hub (CAH) with a presence in the main entrance.

Enfield Carers Centre also hosts a weekly Information & Advice stand each week in the main foyer at Chase Farm Hospital which is a good platform for promoting the Home from Hospital service. Through the above work 206 people were contacted and given information about this free service for their loved ones.

Carers Assessments/ (BACP) Accredited Counselling Service

The introduction of a small, heavily subsidised fee for both day and evening counselling services at ECC has proven to be successful in reducing the number of ‘Did not Attend’ sessions and contributes a small revenue towards the running of the service.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The evening counselling service improves accessibility for carers who may work during the daytime or cannot leave their loved one. Take up of the evening service has been lower than expected and it has proven to be challenging recruiting volunteer counsellors to work in the evenings. Despite this, over 30 Carers have been seen and supported through the evening service.

Age UK Enfield I-Can Project

Enfield Carers Centre is one of the Age UK Enfield’s delivery partners on their iCan Project which supports vulnerable adults in the community living with dementia, diabetes, stroke or at risk of falling. The project began in 2018 and will cease at the end of May 2025 as part of Enfield Council’s overhaul of voluntary sector funding. The iCan Funding covers the costs related to project expenses and a fulltime Navigator/Social Prescriber focussing on the Edmonton area. The total number of referrals for the financial year covered by this report were as follows:

Number of referrals

In this financial year Enfield Carers Centre’s iCan Navigator supported 344 clients.

The support provided included providing advice, information and hosting activities which reduced their social isolation such as Tea & Chatter sessions, information and advice sessions, Memory Met Ups for people with dementia and their family Carer and occasional social outings.

Total number of attendees for the Tea and Chatter group throughout the year was 234 attendees. Total number of attendees for the Memory Meet Up group throughout the year was 102 attendees.

In March we also took a group of 8 to visit The Wallace Collection to enjoy a guided tour around the art gallery.

Enfield Wellbeing Network- Partnership with Enfield Voluntary Action, Age UK Enfield &. Mind In Enfield

The Enfield Wellbeing Network (EWN) is a partnership of voluntary and community organisations including, Enfield Carers Centre, Age UK Enfield, Enfield Voluntary Action and Mind in Enfield. These partners have come together to help local people to boost their health and wellbeing and to improve the self-management of long-term conditions. Each partner employs a full-time Wellbeing Practitioner.

Our Wellbeing Practitioner was sadly on long-term sick leave from the summer of 2024 until the end of the year. We continued providing a slightly reduced service with the agreement of the lead contractor, using seconded staff and expanded duties by volunteers. A mutual decision was made to cease our provision of service in this partnership beyond December 2024 as our employee was eventually unable to return to work and Enfield Council had announced its decision to cease this contract from May 2025.

During the financial year covered by this report, our Wellbeing Practitioner service supported 87 clients to work towards and meet their desired goals during 2024-25. Over 248 volunteer hours were engaged in supporting Carers to improve their personal health and wellbeing and achieve their stated goals as

laid down in their action plans. In addition, a total of 11 talks, presentations and wellbeing workshops were delivered during this period.

All EWN activities are based in Enfield and included:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public Benefit

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance "Public Benefit: Running a Charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity's activities.

Volunteers

The Charity has been supported in its activities by an able and generous group of volunteers. The number of volunteers this year has been 33 (2024: 36). Our volunteer roles include administration, IT & digital support, GP Outreach, Health Buddies, Young Carers' Tutors, Mentors and Student Psychotherapy Counsellors. Volunteers are recruited via online platforms such as Love Your Doorstep Enfield, Reach, EVA’s Volunteer Bureau and Local Colleges or Higher Education Institutions.

Financial review

Financial Position

The statement of financial activities shows a net deficit of £65,736 and surplus in previous year (2024: - £40,295). Reserves stand at £937,382 (2024 - £1,003,118). The financial position at the year revealed by the balance sheet on page 19 shows net current assets or working capital of £933,796 (2024 - £997,478). The net book value of fixed assets held, all of which are used directly for charitable purposes, amounted to £3,586 (2023 - £5,640).

Principal Funding Sources

The main funding sources for the Charity are listed on pages 26 and 27 in Notes 5 to 7 of the financial statement. The London Borough of Enfield is the Funder of the Charity's two main contracts plus income arising from individual homecare contracts.

Reserves Policy

The Board of Trustees has assessed the charity's requirements in the light of main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby, unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level which ensure that Enfield Carers Centre's activity can continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The reserve is agreed by Trustees as six months' expenditure- equivalent to £793,677 (2024: £728,291) for the next financial year. The charity aims to increase the current reserve figure by generating unrestricted income via its Homecare Services and fundraising activities.

In addition, designated funds for the next financial year, as agreed by Trustees, are outlined as follows and based on actual expenditure in this financial year.

Enfield Carers Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The Development fund has been set aside by Trustees for the specific purpose of raising the visibility and profile of the ·organisation as a whole and to support the development of the charity’s Homecare Service as well as investigating income generating projects to protect the future sustainability of the charity as a whole.

Designated 2025-26

Development Fund 100,000

The charity has remained financially secure during this financial year. The demand for the charity's services continues to be high and the charity continues to be a viable organisation moving forward with an excellent reputation locally and with its main funder.

FUTURE PLANS

As always Enfield Carers Centre remains on the lookout for income generating projects and ideas that will help our charity build financial sustainability and enable us to keep supporting unpaid/family Carers for many decades to come. We are pleased to report that our plan to open a new daycare service in the Ponders End ward of Enfield are progressing well.

The new service is called ‘’Connections’’ and will provide services for vulnerable adults in need of social integration.

Enfield Carers Centre intends to continue raising its profile, promoting Carers’ needs and helping Enfield residents to identify themselves with the term ‘’Carer’’ if they are looking after someone who needs their help due to illness or disability. Our staff will continue to promote Carer awareness at GP Practices and Patient Participation Group meetings to encourage and remind practice staff to refer patients who are Carers to the Centre and to promote the existence of services for family/unpaid Carers.

Our Homecare division continues to provide a growing source of unrestricted income. Cost-of-living pressures and our commitment to pay living wages to all our staff have necessitated an annual but reasonable price increase. Despite the increase in charges, our homecare services are still very competitive and affordable when compared with other local and national providers. In the new financial year, Enfield Carers Centre will continue its marketing strategy to boost the visibility of Enfield Carers Centre’s professional homecare services.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

10

Enfield Carers Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Letter of representation

We have fulfilled our responsibilities, as Trustees, as set out in the terms of the audit engagement dated 24 July 2024, for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) which give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as of {31 March 2025] and of the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for making accurate representations to you.

The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions. We believe that those uncorrected misstatements identified during the audit are immaterial both individually and in aggregate to the financial statements as a whole.

We consider, as directors, that having regard to the position of the company at the date of this letter and the circumstances which we consider likely to occur during the coming year, there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. For this reason, we believe that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Enfield Carers Centre (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Enfield Carers Centre (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If

12

Enfield Carers Centre

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Enfield Carers Centre (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes 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 internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether 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 concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 high level of assurance but 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 influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Audit report irregularities

There is a presumed risk that revenue may be misstated due to the improper recognition of revenue. To address this risk, we obtained an understanding of the company’s revenue recognition policies and compared these to the accounting standard, performed a walkthrough to confirm our understanding of the processes and controls through which the business initiates, records, processes and reports revenue transactions. We tested a sample of revenue transactions to supporting evidence and tested, on a sample basis, revenue related balances in the balance sheet.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Britannia House, 137 - 143 Baker Street, London, Enfield, Middlesex, EN1 3JL, UK.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The charity meets its day to day working capital requirements through the utilisation of its own funds. The charity incurred a deficit in the year of (£65,736) and as at the balance sheet date was showing a bank balance of £866,554 and the net current assets £933,796.

The trustees have prepared the accounts based on a number of potential scenarios mainly the renewal of its grant with London Borough of Enfield as well as its ongoing Home Care Services operations. These, together with reserves held and cost savings made indicate that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. The trustees therefore consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the charity’s financial statements.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

Tangible assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on the number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

On receipt, donated professional services, donated facilities and goods are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain the services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market. A corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt

3 . Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance and administration personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity’s programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 10 .

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity which relate to the general running of the charity as opposed to those costs associated with fundraising or charitable activity. The costs include auditors’ remuneration, legal advice for trustees and costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements e.g. the cost of trustee’s meetings and preparing statutory financial statements. Included within this category are any costs associated with the strategic as opposed to day-to-day management of the charity’s activities.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Operating leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment 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 impairment 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, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation 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 asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line Equipment - 25% straight line

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment 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 that largely independent of the cash inflows 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 units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

20. Analysis of charitable funds (continued)

Description, nature and purpose of restricted funds:

Carers Assessment Project – This funding is for the appointed trusted assessor of Enfield Council. It is for the provision of stand-alone (Carers only) assessments and processing of Carers direct payments where appropriate.

EyPIC – Young Carers Project – Big Lottery ‘’Reaching Communities’’ funded project was awarded in 22/23. The project involves working closely with local schools delivering assemblies and teacher training to raise awareness about YCs and YACs aimed at:

Community Education Providers Networks (CEPN) Safer Discharge Project – The balance of funds awarded in 20/21 relate to CEPN NHS England funding aimed at reducing acute and mental health hospital patient readmissions and promoting the involvement of Carers in smoother, faster, safer discharges from hospital. Basic nursing skills training program for Carers is also provided covering topics such as medication management, signs of infection, dehydration and pressure sores etc.

Hospital Discharge Carers Project – NCL ICB funding was received at the end of this financial year, but recruitment issues meant that the project did not begin until 24/25. The funding is £80,000 over two years and relates to improving Carer involvement in hospital discharge and introducing the London Hospital Community Discharge toolkit into North Middlesex University Hospital.

Replacement Care for Ambassadors – Enfield Carers Centre continues to support Enfield Council in recruiting and assisting Carers Ambassadors in the borough. The ambassadors are provided with direct payment from the council as reimbursement for expenses. The £1,039 (2024: £1,039) funding is restricted for replacement care and expenses .

Alpha Care Ltd ‘’Home from Hospital Project’’ – Enfield Carers Centre is a formal partner on this project. Enfield Carers Centre provides a hospital discharge liaison officer working over three hospitals: Chase Farm; North Middlesex University and Barnet. The officer works closely with the multi-disciplinary discharge teams and supports Carers to be involved in discharge planning as well as promoting referrals to the Home from Hospital services.

Enfield Wellbeing Project: This project is led by the Enfield Voluntary Action. Enfield Carers Centre is one of the three main delivery partners alongside Mind in Enfield and Age UK Enfield. Enfield Carers Centre employs a full-time Wellbeing practitioner who coordinates volunteer Wellbeing Buddies and supports local people to boost their health and wellbeing and to improve the self-management of longterm conditions.

Age UK- ICAN – Enfield Carers Centre has partnered with Age UK Enfield as one of four delivery partners on their i-CAN service project. The project aims to support vulnerable adults to remain living healthily and independently in the community, improving the self-management of their health conditions and reducing the need for access to primary and secondary care services. The project supports adults aged 18 and over.

Enfield Carers Centre employs an i-CAN navigator to work with service users living within the Edmonton area in a holistic manner and identify their physical, emotional, psychological, social and practical needs.
