FOR THEYEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
We welcome student placements from universities and colleges.
There are many challenges facing disabled people, older people and those who access health and social
care. There is widespread agreement that there is an acute cr15is in health and social care. This has been
brought about after years of underfunding followed by the impact of the ctsronavirijs pandemic. 2023 was
also impacted by rising inflation leading to a cost-ol-living crisis which has affected staff and volunteers as
well as having a devastating impact on many people we support with reports that people are choosing
between heating, eating and care. Additional challenges included recruitment, retention and health
nequalities which impacted Direct Payment employers looking to employ Personal Assistants as well as
our charity's ability to grow to the rising demand for support. Demand has risen but has been largely met
by short term grants and initiatives. In 2022 we took part the fair cost of csre exercise, but we are still
waiting for a fair deal for social care to be set out by central Government.
We continue to promote the importance of our local service and our ethos of being a user-led
organisation. We promote with our commissioner5 the benefits of our services to ensure there Trs
recognition of the benefits to our community of having a strong third sector local presence.
Our visi
A fair society where we can all participate and lulfil our potential.

Increase independence through better care and support in our communities.

expected deficit of £29K our actual outturn was a deficit of £192K
The financial variances were largely due to low or non-existent uplifts in services and contracts. income
lower than expected growth in our care services and increased costs due lo inflation. Due to
management intervention and planning, the in.month deficit started to reduce from October 2023 and
we moved back into surplvs in April 2024 This single year delicit was possible due to five previous years
surpluses and èffective planning for 2024. Fundraising and donations increased as well as grants for new

offer essential training to personal assistants and their employèrs a5 well as making sure our staff are
trained with the most up to date skills and knowledge.
Personal assistsnt training - Skills for Care issued us Wlth a grant for £39K to enable us to arrange and
deliver social care training for individual employers and personal assistants. This resLJlted in improved
quality and safety within health and social care sector.

needs of the people we support. We worked alongside West Sussex County Council to support people
struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. Wé wére able to allocate nearly £30,000 in household support
vouchers helping to relieve some of the burden currently faced by families in West Sussex.
Digital exclusion - Large numbers of people in the UK lack basic digital skills, impacting their ability to live
independent lives. This group of digitally excluded people are particularly prevalent among disabled

under the risk-weighted calculation fflethod.
People development
Recruit the best, diverse people to enable growth
Reward and recognize with the foundation living wage
Retain with personal development and progression pathways
Develop an inclusive and innovative culture
Engage online and in person
During 2022 we completed a full review of our pay and reward structure and found locally our pay had
fallen behind other providers across the sector in some areas and especially for some care support
worker roles. This was exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis and the detrimental effect it had on our staff
to be able to afford to pay for petrol ènd othér essentials. A pay increase was implemented from January
2023 with the most significant inereasè going to healthcare support workers. This was necessary to
provide a reasonable and competitive wage but also to support both recruitment and retention.
Wè are a Dis8bility Confident Leader, we offer a guaranteed interview to any disabled person who meets
the mandatory reqijirements set out in our job descriptions and applies for a job and have flexible
policies to support disabled people remain in work.
The Mindful Employer scheme supports existing and new employees, and employers, with easier access
to information and support in relation to staff experiencing stress. anxiety, depression or other mental
health condition5. We are an employer for carers, a foundation living wage employer and offer all our staff
an employee assistsnce programme.

opinion. Reasonable as5uranc8 is a high 18vel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an aLJdit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or e¥ror 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 thèse financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which
our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. is detailed below.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the
financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of
material misstatements due to fraud through de519ning and implementing appropriate responses and to
respond appropriately to fraud or Suspected Iraud identified during the audit.
However it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight ol those charged with governance,
to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations
and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the
audit engagement team made enquiries of management. and those charged with governance, Tegarding the
procedure5 relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with..
l. laws and regulation5 and whether they were aware of any instances ol non-compliance..
2. detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or
alleged fraud,.
3. the internal controls estsblished to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and
regulations.,
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the Charity operates in, focusing on
those laws and regulation5 that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundarnentsl effect
on the operations of the Charity. The key laws and regulations w8 considered in this context included the UK
Charities Ac( data proteclion regulations, taxation and ernployment legislation. The engagement partner has
reviewed the team selected to undertake the engagement and ensure that they have Sufficient competence
and are capable of identifying and recogni5ing non-compliance with laws and regulations. No non<ompliance
was identified.
Discussion was held among the engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial
Statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in
