Progress towards our vlslon
Our work with young people and families has enabled us to make 3 number of significant steps
toward5 our long-term strategic plan. For example:
In 2023-24 young carers from our Action Group and Young Carers National Voice
campaigned for their rights to be recogni5ed during h05Pital discharge and worked with
Paul Blomfield MP and the House of Lords to ensure that this was written into law in the
new Health and Care Act.
We've continued to develop our research skllls and expertlse this year too, recognising
where we can play our part as an expert practitioner and help to effect change on the
ground for young carers and their families. The REBIAS-YC research project with the

family approach and the identification of young carers.
International work: a new and growing area of influence for us. We continue to develop
our links with Japan and hosted a visit from young adult carers and researchers in

young people, families, staff and professional partners:

Impact of our work
One of our main aims is to reduce the impact of caring on young lives. We have achieved this
within the year in a number of ways. Looking at the outcomes for young carers and families, we
are able to evidence the different ways that the impact has been reduced from increased
confidence and wellbeing to increased skills and access to support at schools and in other
services. However, this has been another difficult year for young carers and their families, we
have recorded lower levels of progress and Impact for many young carers as they have continued
to face increased caring responsibilitie5 Within the pandemic. with the consequent impact on
their emotional well-being.

Ensuring regular feedback and eva14Jatlon
As well as working closely with young people and their families to ensure that our work remains
relevant and effective and reflects their needs and wishes, we regularly consult our staff,
trustees and volunteers. and the professionals that we work with throughout Sheffield, to
ensure that all parts of our community are involved in our work. In 2023-24, we conducted
surveys with young people. families and stakeholders. The findings from the SUNeys were fed
into our strategic plannlng cycle, informing development and delivery of our service.
Strategic development and awareness raising
As well as providing direct support to young carers and their families, we have also worked hard
this year to provide a wide range of professionals with the information, support and skills that
they need to identify and support young carers Within their own settlnEs. As well as our routine
casework with young people's schools, colleges and workplaces, their soclal workers and any
health professionals who are working with their families etc., we have provided training and
advice to more than 120 organisations lincluding health services, education providers and the
local voluntary sector) and more than 740 professionals, including social work students, trainee
nurses. safeguarding officers and post-16 PGCE students. We have also provided advice, training
and resources to more than 120 schools and alternative education providers, who belon8 to our
Schools Network.
Given that many young carer5 a￿ hidden from view, It Is very hard to develop an accurate
plcture of the number of young carers who are being supported by other professionals and
organisations in Sheffleld. Even those we ask directly are often unable to Specify exactly how
many young carers attend their school or belongto their GP practice, for example. Over the past
year, however, we have continued worklng closely with Sheffield City Council, to build up the
Young Carers Register for the city. The register is slowly building up but SYC remains a5 the main
source of information.
We have 3150 followed up the review of the young carers assessment in 2021-22 by working with
the City Council to develop an options paper on how to ensure young carers, rights are bein8 met
within Sheffield in 2022-23. In 2023-24 we continued this work to ensure that young carers
receive their statutory rights. The young carers assessment service will be held within Sheffield
City Council's SNIPS (Special Needs Inclusion Play/Care Service). We will work wlth them in 2024-
25 to ensure Improved access for young carers to an assessment. action plan and review, in
particvlar at the key points of transition in their lives.

Research
SYC continues to develop its skills and expertise in the field of research, recognlsing where we
can play a part as an expert prattitioner in the development and delivery of research projects
which can effect change on the Bround for young carers and thetr families. The two maln areas
of research in Z023-24 were:
l. Completion of the REBIAS-YC research projectwith the London School of Economics (LSEI
into how young carers access support and the gaps in provision. This including developing
an animation of the research findings with the young carers research advisory 8roup.
2. Ethics of young carers being co-trainers and presenting their personal stories with the
University of Gloucester and Gloucestershire Young Carers.
Findings from both of the above research projects were presented at the International Young
carers Conferente in Manchester in May 2024.
LSE and SYC have secured further National Institute for Health Research {NIHRI for REBIAS 11
which picks up on the research findings about the lack of whole family working to support young
carers identification and support. This 2.5 year research project started in February 2024 and SYC
is leading on public involvement, in particularly coordinating the Young Cares Research Advisory
Group and the Parents Research Advisory Group.
Learnln8 from stakeholders
In 2023, we conducted a range of surveys of stakeholders, including families and external
partners.
"It hos made on incalculable difference in our lives. Specifically, I'M very, very thankfulfor the
emotionol and procticol support."
"Feeling like o stronger mother mentallyfor my girls.-
"My children have benefitedfrom the growth in my sense of self-worth."
Quotes from parents supported throu8h our Family Project
The results from the SU￿eY of external partners and referrers were overall very positive with
100% expresslng Confiden￿ in referring others to SYC. 93% rate the quality of SYC support to
young people and to families as excellent or very good. 89% rate the quality of SYC support to
organlsations as excellent or very good and 82% rate the support to others to help them to
identify young carers and young people affected by drug or alcohol issues in their family, as
excellent orvery good. Several respondentstookthe opportunity to leave very positive feedback

Nnanclal revlew
The results for the year ended 31 March 2024 are shown on the accompanying financial
statements.
We entered thefinancial year 2023-24 with the majority of funding secured and plans in place to
secure additional grants and donations. Successful funding applications ensured that we were
fully funded during the year. There are no uncertainties about the Charity continuing to operate
in 2024-5 and beyond.
Designated funds, including the remaining Paul Hamlyn Foundation investment, have been
allocated according to any funding requirements and to meet the strategic objectives of the
charity. For example, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation designated funds will part fund our
Programme of Influence (Action Group and YCNVI since some restricted funding streams have
ended. and the Worshipful Company of Pewterers funding has been allocated to education
development work. The allocation of anyfurther designated funds will be in accordance with our
Reserves Policy Isee below).
Reserves Polic
The trustees review the reserves annually. This year the Board of Trustees considered the
additional risk of the ongoing cost of living crisis in preparing SYC'S reserves policy, plus the
ongoing need to ensure sustainable funding for the continuation of SYC'S work.
The Board agreed a minimum reserve level to cover potential project closure costs and funds be
used for development purposes, includin8 the possible recruitment of new staff, as well as a
contingency for the ending of grants if we are unable to secure any further grant funding in the
year. This need for a sustainability reserve is important as the competition for charitable trust
funding and other grants is increasin8.
The Board agreed thatthe reserves target at 31 March 2024 needs to be between £150.000 and
£200,000 (not including designated funds). As at 31 March 2024 the Charity held free reserves of
£192.027 (these are general funds not including fixed assetsl12023: £190,695). The Board of
Trustees determined that year end free reserves are within policyi and opportunitie5 are taken
to generate unrestricted reseryes and this policy will be reviewed annually.
In addition to free reserves, the charity held £206.397 of designated funds to be spent on specific
projects12023'. £107,172). Restrittedfunds held atthe year end were £206,246 (2023: £236,194).

Future plans

impact on the rest of their lives.

Investment policy
The trustee5 have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds subject to the
overriding requirement of maintaining liquidity of funds.
Risk management
The Board ofTrustees oversees a risk reglster, which is reviewed every two months at the Board
meetings. The risk register uses a RAG rating to highlight any particular risks with the attions
recorded and reviewed at the following meetings. The main risks identified in 2023-24 were:
L055 of project funding: all fundingthat was duetoend in 2023-24 was secured orcovered
by underspend. However, we have a number of grants that need renewing in 2024-25 $0
this will remain an amber risk.
Managing the waiting list: this is ongoing issue, to ameliorate risk we have taken on
dditional staff but a 20% increase in referrals year on year means that thi5 continue to
be a risk.
Staff wellbeing and sickness: we have mitigated the risk from short- and lon8er-terrn staff
illness though trainln8 up sessional staff and recruiting an additional member of staff to
the Young People's Team in 2023-24.
To mitigate the additional risk in relation to the Covid19 pandemic, we developed operational
levels Ired, amber and green based on National Youth Agency model) and appropriate risk
assessments for all activities. staff and office funrtion5, includinE online delivery protocol for
working with children and vulnerable adults. We also reviewed our IT and data protection in light
of home-working and the use of office laptOPs/equipment outside of SYC offices. These are no
longer in operation but are available for any future pandemic or similar emergency.
