## Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society **Chairman’s & Executive Director’s Reports** for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
## **Chairman’s Report**
The Care Society has had another strong year in terms of performance and this position has given the Board the opportunity to think about how we continue to develop our essential services for people living in midWales. At the time of writing this report, we are set to meet in early July and agree our ambitions for next few years for The Care Society.
These plans will no doubt take into account the political shifts we have seen in Wales and across the UK, and the continuing pressure that is felt by so many in trying the manage their own cost of living. I have no doubt that The Board will want to continue championing the voices of the people we work with across the region, and doing our best to make sure we are a strong position to continue to provide as much support as we can.
As a Board we are regularly amazed at the stories of the positive impact The Care Society has had on people lives, and as always this is down to our incredible colleagues who are so committed to making sure they live our values through everything they do. We always have been, and remain so immensely proud of you all.
I would like to thank the Board and colleagues of the wider Barcud Group for their continued support and dedication to the success of The Care Society and express my thanks to The Care Society Leadership Team for the support they provide to the Board whilst carrying their roles with such compassion and determination.
There are some other people who need a special mention this year, Steve Jones left his role as Chief Executive of The Barcud group last year and he played a huge role in supporting the growth of The Care Society. We welcomed Jason Jones early this summer who is the new Chief Executive and I know that he is equally as supportive of The Care Society. In September 2024 two other Boards members will be stepping down, having served their full 9 year terms on what is now The Barcud Board. Catherine Shaw and Steve Cripps – thank you both so much for your support for the work of The Care Society, you have brought great insight to our meetings and I know the organisation will miss you both. Having completed my 9 years on The Care Society Board, I also will be stepping down as Chair and as a Board member in September. It has been a complete privilege to work with the organisation over this time and I am so proud of everything you have and continue to achieve.
And I could not possibly sign off without recording my thanks to Guy Evans. When I first met Guy over a decade ago, he lived and breathed The Care Society, and all this time later – that hasn’t changed. There have been some very challenging times, but Guy’s optimism and passion knows no bounds. Thank you, Guy, – you are an inspiration.
A P Hearn Chair
## **Executive Director’s Report**
2023 / 2024 has been another busy year for the Care Society delivering services against the backdrop of a cost of living crisis which continues to affect the most vulnerable members of our communities. In this challenging environment, I am ever grateful to Care Society colleagues who continue to show resilience and compassion providing 24/7 services which positively improve the lives of our service users.
2023 / 2024 has also been a period of change for The Care Society including –
- ➢ Preparing for the departure of three Board members, Catherine Shaw, Steve Cripps and our current Chair Anthony Hearn. Under their stewardship The Care Society has grown significantly to support more people, is more financially secure and has become a living wage employer. Their knowledge, commitment and support for the Care Society has been unwavering, appreciated and I am truly, truly grateful.

- ➢ A change in Group Chief Executive. I would like to thank Steve Jones for his support of The Care Society over recent years. I would also like to welcome Jason Jones and look forward to working together for the interests of The Care Society, Barcud Group and the local community.
- ➢ Tendering for Housing Support Services within Ceredigion
- ➢ Increasing existing Care Society services delivered in Powys and working with Barcud colleagues and Powys County Council with a view to developing future projects.
- ➢ Relocating the charity shop and shop mobility scheme whilst remedial works are executed at the Chalybeate Street premises.
Despite uncertainty the Care Society continues to show resilience and commitment and the need for our services is more acute than ever. I would like to thank Barcud, our parent body, and future planning will be built upon our good working relationship and infrastructure support.

Page **7**
Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society **Report of the Trustees** for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The Charity has no investment powers except to place any surplus income into deposit accounts. Having considered the options available, the Trustees have decided to ensure reserves are available to meet the working capital requirements of the Charity.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustees have reviewed the requirement for reserves in view of continued reduction in public funding and other risks to the organisation.
- To enable the Charity to meet its contractual obligations, including possible redundancy payments, amounts due to creditors and commitments under leases in the event of loss or deferral of major funding streams.
- To enable the Charity to continue to provide a stable and quality service to those who need it whilst it seeks to find alternative sources of income.
- To cover large items of expenditure such as repairs to premises and equipment replacement necessary to ensure a safe and reasonable working environment for both clients and staff.
The Trustees have agreed to establish a level of reserves equal to six months’ running costs. Budgeted expenditure for 2023/24 is £1.63 million, therefore the target reserves are £815,000. The long-term strategy of the Charity is to build reserves through delivering planned operating surpluses. In the short term, the Charity has explored all possibilities to reduce expenditure, including activities that could be curtailed should circumstance require, and also the level of unrestricted funds committed to fixed assets held by the charity.
## Results:
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a net surplus from ordinary activities for the year of £3,284 (2023 surplus of £227,162), and reserves now stand at £1,210,643 (2023 £1,196,608). During the year there was property revaluations of 10,751.
The Charity’s funds have all been applied in accordance with its objectives and the Charity’s assets are all being maintained in the furtherance of these objectives.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
With uncertainty surrounding tendering and the continued challenges of the current socio-economic climate, Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society needs to remain innovative and resilient in the face of significant funding challenges and increased demand. Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society will continue to explore ways we can deliver sustainable services to meet identified need.
Future Plans include:
- Expansion of support and housing services in Powys including the provision of a Triage Assessment Centre based in Newtown.
- Returning the Charity Shop and Shop Mobility Scheme to the Chalybeate Street site.
- Relocating the Young Persons Project in Cardigan to facilitate remedial works at the existing facility.
- • Growing the Property Management and Social Lettings portfolio.
- Increasing the community support and bespoke packages of care service within Ceredigion.
- Reviewing the existing staffing structure with a view to strengthening services, increasing capacity and to cover aspects of succession planning
- Implementing Audit recommendations to ensure Quality Assurance and continued compliance throughout Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society services
- Continuing to upgrade our IT infrastructure across all projects
- Raise the profile of the Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society through targeted advertising and promotions
- Explore mechanisms to capture Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society’s value

Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society has a competency-based performance management policy and procedure for recruitment of all personnel, which is used to set performance expectations, objectives and goals, monitor progress and measure performance against the objectives of the Charity.
Recruitment of Trustees is reviewed by the Board, with the view to ensuring the needs of the Board are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the Trustee body. All prospective Trustees are requested to complete application forms before selection.

- Structure, Governance and Management including information on and pertaining to Charities Articles of Association
Finances and Finance Policy Quality Assurance Systems Health and Safety Policies & Procedures;
- Directors and Trustees;
- Structure and Functions of Board of Trustees;
- Role of Trustees;
- Ensuring Eligibility as a Trustee as Defined in CC3;
- Trustee Codes of Practice; and
- Trustee Job Descriptions.
## **Organisational Structure**
From April 2018, Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society became a subsidiary of Tai Ceredigion in a group structure. In November 2020, Tai Ceredigion merged with Mid Wales Housing, forming Barcud. The governance of the structure is bound by the intra-group agreement between the Barcud and Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society. The Charity is managed by the Trustees who meet quarterly. The day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services is delegated to the Executive Director, Guy Hamilton Evans, who reports to the Trustees at regular meetings.
## **Key management remuneration**
The Trustees review the pay and remuneration of all the Charity’s personnel on an annual basis. Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society’s remuneration policy principles are as follows:
**1.** To ensure that the aims and objectives of the Charity are being met.
**2.** To be able to attract and also retain staff who have the necessary skills and experience in their specific roles to ensure that the organisation is able to run efficiently.
**3.** The remuneration policy is fair and consistent across the organisation.
Any pay increases need to be appropriate for the type of role within the organisation and agreed by Trustees.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks faced by the Charity and have ensured appropriate systems and procedures have been established to mitigate their impact. The Charity has invested significantly in both the training of staff and numerous quality assurance mechanisms, including:
Page **9**
- The QCS Welsh Social Care Management system and a comprehensive library of policies and procedures which are compliant with Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales standards;
- Internal Monitoring Processes, departmental budgets and Key Performance Indicators linked to organisational strategy; and
- Specific Accreditations including membership of – The National Association of Landlords, The Property Ombudsman Service, and Tenancy Deposit Services.
Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of robust Group Financial Regulations and established procedures for authorisation of all transactions.
Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society has developed a Risk Map identifying the changes in internal and external factors that may affect the likelihood of a significant risk impacting the organisation. The risk mapping process is fully embedded within business planning and operational arrangements and is complemented by a risk register. Each risk is assessed as to its ‘impact’ and ‘likelihood’ on a scale of 1 - 5. The original risk is scored on the assumption that there are no current controls to manage it; this is a starting point to enable the identification of risks which have potentially high exposure levels for the business and is called an unmitigated risk.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees (who are also Directors of Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society for the purposes of Company Law) are responsible for preparing 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, of the incoming resources and application of resources. This includes the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are responsible and prudent; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and
- - the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors** to the Members of Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society (“the charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31st March 2024 of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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 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.
Page **11**
## **Report of the Independent Auditors** to the Members of Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In 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 Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Report; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and addressing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the charity, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, health and safety legislation, and employment legislation.
- We enquired of the trustees and reviewed correspondence and trustee meeting minutes for evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the trustees have in place, where necessary, to ensure compliance.
- We gained an understanding of the controls that the trustees have in place to prevent and detect fraud.
- We enquired of the trustees about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period.
- The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: laws related to the provision of social housing, recognising the nature of the charity’s activities and the regulated nature of the charity’s activities.
Page **12**
## **Report of the Independent Auditors** to the Members of
## Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society
- We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
- We enquired of the trustees about actual and potential litigation and claims.
- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
## **Use of the audit report**
This report is made solely to the charity’s members as a body in accordance with Section 3 of Part 16 or the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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’ trustees as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Grants have been received under S180 of the Housing Act 1996 or Section 126 of the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act 1966 from the Welsh Government for specific projects. These grants are as follows:
S180 Bond Scheme – The Bond Scheme enables people on low incomes to move into their own private accommodation. Thus people, who are homeless or facing homelessness, are assisted into finding safe, affordable and sustainable rented accommodation facilitated through the provision of a bond guarantee.
S180 Accommodation Officer – The principal objective of the ‘Accommodation Officer Scheme’ is to alleviate homelessness in Ceredigion through meeting the increased demand for suitable and affordable private rented accommodation. To this end the scheme works with the Welsh Government, the Local Authority and regional private landlords to promote good practice, improve property standards and meet the shortfall from the existing private rented sector, registered social housing and statutory housing provision.

S180 Night Shelter – Rooflessness & Resettlement Initiative The overall aim of this project is to reduce homelessness and repeat homelessness in Ceredigion and rural mid-Wales through the provision of safe accommodation for ‘rough sleepers’ and homeless people. The project also aims to achieve positive resettlement outcomes and prevent social exclusion through engagement with service users and by providing support, access to the Accommodation Officer and Bond Schemes, client activities, housing advice, welfare, finance and benefits advice, partnership working and signposting to specialist agencies.
Innovation funding - In 2019/2020 Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society successfully secured Welsh Government Innovation Grant Funding to provide a psychologically–and-trauma informed accommodation and support service specifically for people up to the age of 25. With this grant income Cymdeithas Gofal The Care Society have established an innovative Housing First for Youth Project based in Aberystwyth from premises provided by Barcud. This project has been designed to address the needs of developing young adults by providing them with immediate access to housing that is safe, affordable and appropriate, with the necessary and age-appropriate support that focuses on health, well-being, life skills, engagement in education and employment, and social inclusion. The goal of this project is not simply to provide housing stability, but to support young people as youth and facilitate a healthy transition to adulthood.
Shop Mobility Scheme – To provide the effective delivery of the Shop Mobility project, including staff training, acquisition of suitable mobility equipment, safe storage of such equipment in an appropriate central location in Aberystwyth and delivery to where the equipment is needed. Use of the equipment should be charged on a fair and reasonable basis and effective promotion of the scheme is also required.
STEP - Successful delivery of a Supported Training and Employment Programme (STEP) in Lampeter providing access to training and work placements for up to 95 individuals economically inactive and over the age of 25
