TENDRING ELDERCARE
Tendring Eldercare- Chalmian's Report
Firstly, l am delighted to share that, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, our annual
accounts have been successfully published to the Charity Commission ahead of the deadline. This
achievement marks a significant milestone for us and reflects the rigorous financial and accounting
procedures we have implemented to ensure a stable and secure future.
A key part of this transformation has been the introduction of a new di8itsl accounting system,
implemented with the guidance of our new accountant. We are deeply grateful for their expertise
and ongoing support, which has not only helped us streamline our financial operations but also
provided the clarity and security needed to plan for the future confidently.
The financial year 2023-24 has been a positive one for Tendring Eldercare. We have expanded our
team of dedicated and compassionate carers, ensuring we continue to deliver the highest quality of
care to those who rely on us. Additionally, we have fully settled into our new home on Stephenson
Road, with the majority of renovation work now complete. This move has equipped us with a
modern, funttional space that enables us to provide a safe and welcoming environment for our
clients.
Respite care remains at the very heart of our mission. By offering a safe, protective space, we not
only enhance the mental and physical wellbeing of our clients but also provide crucial support to
their families and carers. Our services offer them a much-needed break, helping to ease the strain
and prevent the emotional toll that can often accompany caregiving.
This past year, we have fostered valuable relationships with external organisatlons, working together
to address the needs of our community. Collaboration is key to our success, and we are committed to
buildin8 even stronger partnerships in the coming years.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of our dedicated carers
and highlight two individuals in particular: Laura Marston, our CEO, and Christine Hurling, one of our
Trustees and our activities coordinator. Their tireless work and unwavering commitment have gone
above and beyond their roles, ensuring that the charity remains Strong and resilient. Without thelr
support, I truly believe we would not be in the positive position we are today.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the future. Over the next few years, we plan to introduce new
services that build on our core values and extend our impact. In reflecting on the past 40 years of
Tendring Eldercare, I have had the privilege of exploring our history and identifying projects that we
may be able to reintroduce to further enrich our offerings.
To our supporter5, thank you for standing with us. Your contributions and shared sense of community
are vit31 to everything we do. Together, we will continue to embody the spirit of "Care in the
Community."

ectivc res
onsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the
Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Ac(
To follow the pro¢edur¢s laid down in the General Directions given by th¢ Charity.
Commissioners (under section 145(5Xb) of the Charities ACL and
To stat¢ whether any matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Inde
endent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those ￿OrdS. It also
includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Ind¢
cndent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination. no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records. or
th¢ accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the
fomi and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Rew)rts) Regulations
2008 othcr than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a
matter considered as part of an independent ¢xamination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should bc drawn in this report in order to enable a proper und¢r5tanding of the accounts
to be reach¢d.
