Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2&82954FAE-B3B2-C43F4A9EOE56 Back round to Mid-cornwall Lifes les Our Vision: Our vision is to help you live your life, your way, with our support. Our Mission Statement: We will support individuals with a long term health condition, disability or with additional needs to fulfil their own personal ambitions and to live the lifestyle of their choice with the help of our trained and dedicated Support Workers. Aim The aim of Mid-cornwall Lifestyles is to offer people the opportunity to develop the lifestyle of their choice. 'Lifestyles' describes a way of working with people as equal partners in a service. The participant is the central focus of any work undertaken; they have the responsibility for deciding the nature, direction and pace of that work. They have the right to expect to take informed risks. learn from experience. have fun. make mistakes; lead a life that has the same opportunities for happiness, disappointment and fulfilment as anyone else.
Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2B-829HFAE-B3B2£43F4A9EOE56 Histor Mid-cornwall Lifestyles emerged from a short-term Social Services initiative based in St Austell that people did not want to lose. A group of disabled people who had been receiving the service sought the help of Scope through its Community Field Worker and received a grant of £5,000 for development work. That year's work produced a successful lottery bid worth nearly £123,000 over three years and so enabled the project to begin. Mid-cornwall Lifestyles is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Mana ement The original management committee has been extended from within the participants of the project and the majority of Trustees of the charity are people with disabilities. The Chair of the Trustees is a remaining founder member of the original management committee. The CEO who led the Charity since its inception in 1999 handed over the overall management responsibility to the current CEO in 2020. A team of 26 dedicated and skilled Support Workers, a Digital Project Worker and a Deputy Manager (12 Full-Time Equivalent) assist the manager in the delivery of the service to the people of Cornwall. Partici ants Mid-cornwall Lifestyles offers a service to people over the age of 18 with no upper age limit. The project offers a service to any person
Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2B-82954FAE-B3B2-C43F4A9EOE56 with any disability (we operate a self-definition of disability) and a request can be made by the individual or by referral from a close companion or family member, Adult Social Care, G.Ps, NHS, Occupational Health or via partner organisations. The majority of our clients fund the support that we provide them through Direct Payments they receive from Cornwall Council Adult Social Care. These payments enable clients to have control over who they use to provide their care and support. Our core work has 3 elements: 1. Individual Su ort a) Individual services for clients referred by the Department of Adult Social Care and Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. b) Cornwall Disability Alliance projects c) Assisting individuals through their Direct Payment Personal Budgets or self funding. The above Individual Support includes any or all of the following but does not include Personal Care: befriending, advocacy, attending court, liaising with police, providing transport and support to attend appointments, negotiating with debt support and other agencies, assisting with benefits forms and claims and attending appeals, writing letters, organising holidays, shopping, exercising, attending concerts, sporting events and developing online digital skills- all in the name of choice and increased access to the things in life that most people take for granted, thus increasing independence, health and well-being.

What began as a three year funded project has continued and developed into the charity we are today and we remain true to those original values and aims which is to support people to live their lives as they choose. th We held a celebration event in September 2024 where friends, clients and staff came together to reflect on our journey and enjoy music, fun and games. As Chair of Trustees, I was pleased to record a short interview video with our CEO'S past and present about Mid-cornwall Lifestyles which is on our website. By sad coincidence the event took place on the same day as the funeral for our friend and trustee Simon Slatter. A number of us managed to attend both events. We discussed the event plans and his family and those who knew him were confident Simon would have wanted to celebration to go on. He always loved a party! Through donations made we decided to commemorate him with the creation of the annual Simon Slatter Award for someone who shows resilience, good humour and progress towards their goals. The first award has been given to a worthy client at our recent Christmas event. Events and activities have been a big part of this year as we intended. We held a well attended beach BBQ in Bude, boat trips with Wet
Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2B-82954FAE-8382£43F4A9EOE56 Wheels in Falmouth, arts and crafts workshops as well as sporting events. Unfortunately this year has also had another sad event where we lost our dear client Mark who died unexpectedly when out with his support. This was a tragic and traumatic incident that affected us all. The charity rallied to support those directly involved and carried out the requirements of the Charity Commission. Thanks must go to Matt Read, who as a valued new trustee, took on the review and report writing for this incident. I would like to remember both Simon and Mark and reflect on what Mid-cornwall Lifestyles can learn from their lives and experiences. I wish to thank the whole Mid-cornwall Lifestyles team, volunteers and my colleagues on the Trustee board as well as all the participants who make everything we do so worthwhile. l also thank our partner organisations and funders for their continued support.

Docuslgn Envelope ID". 6FFOOE2&82954FAE-B3B2-C43F4A9EOE56 CEO'S Re ort for Year endin ust 2025 This year Mid-cornwall Lifestyles has continued to build on the progress we have made as an organisation in the recent years whilst taking the time to look back at how it all began for MCL in September 1999. Retaining the ethos of "Your life, your way with our support" remains important and we continue to support many longstanding clients through Support Workers who have been with us for many years whilst starting support with new and younger clients. In this year we supported 28 clients and delivered an average of 350 support hours a week through our 25 Support Workers. Its great to look back and see how far we have come but MCL needs to look to the future. As an example, during this year we have increased the number of younger clients we support who are moving from children's services to adult services. A number of these clients are neuro divergent or autistic and our support helps them access the community and build independent living skills. To help our Support Workers build knowledge and specialist skills we arranged some in person neuro divergency training and we are developing our expertise as an organisation supporting these clients. We are looking to build our reputation as an organisation in this area of support.
Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2B-82954FAE-B3B2-C43F4A9EOE56 Behind the scenes we continued to improve our efficiency with charity administration and HR. I have been very grateful for Becky Rowland's support and we have made progress on sharing some of the duties regarding payroll, invoicing and HR. As a management team of two we are deeply involved in all aspects of the charity business. We have also increased our Trustee group in the latter part of this year and the teamwork, management and commitment to helping our clients and Support Workers was required in July to help MCL through the experience of the death of a client in traumatic circumstances. We all pulled together during and after the event and have reviewed and developed from the sad occurrence and we are a stronger charity that understands what makes us special and is looking forward to the future.

Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2&82954FAE-B382-C43F4A9EOE56 Treasurer's Re ort for Year endin ust 2025 l am pleased to present the financial report for Mid Cornwall Lifestyles for the year ended 31 August 2025. The charity has maintained a stable financial position while continuing to deliver and expand our core services. Financial Summary Total Income: £401,385 (an increase from £337,571 in the previous year). Total Expenditure: £392,830 (compared to £287,120 in the previous year). Net Income: The charity generated a net income of £8,555 for the year. Income and Expenditure The vast majority of our income continues to come directly from our charitable activities, which generated £385,447 this year. We also received £14,258 from donations and legacies. Because our services rely on providing direct, personalised support, our largest expenditure is our staff. Total staff costs for the year were £295,306. This reflects an investment in our workforce, as our average number of employees grew from 21 to 25 people during the year.
Docusign Envelope ID.. 6FFOOE2B-8295-4FAE-B382£43F4A9EOE56 Reserves and Going Concern The charity ends the year in a secure position. Total funds carried forward stand at £130,982, of which £130,467 are unrestricted general funds. At the close of the year, our cash at bank was £101,913. The Trustees are currently formalising a policy to hold between 3 and 6 months of average operating costs in unrestricted resenies. These reserves are held to ensure we can cover unexpected costs, continue providing support, and pay our staff without interruption if funding is temporarily delayed, or to allow for a responsible, managed wind-down of sepdices should it ever become necessary. However, after reviewing these figures, the Trustees believe that current and future sources of funding are more than adeq uate for the charity's needs. Therefore, there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. Thank you to the funders, partners, and donors who make our work possible. I would also like to formally thank our management team, staff, and volunteers for their continued hard work and commitment to the charity throughout the year. Signed: Sned by. 016648FE58CB4S1...
