Summary of the objects of the
charity set out in its
governing document
TAR
March 2012

In planning our activities we are mindful of the Charity Commission's
guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
Our activities focus on four themes:
1. Increasing knowledge.. we provide advice surgeries for carers, training
and information workshops.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
2. Advocacy.. Raising issues and concerns affecting ethnic minority family
carers with statutory organisalions.
3. Outreach support to isolated carers: We receive referrals from black
and Asian minority ethnic (BAME) carers and offer an outreach service
particularly if there are language and cultural barriers. This includes
home visiting those that need support, liaising with social services and
other statutory agencies and assisting with advocacyl interpretation.
4. Respite and social interaction.. We recognise that carers struggle to get
out so provide respite days out just for carers. We also provide day trips
for families - the carer and the cared for person - with the option for them
to bring other family members. This gives carers the opportunity to take
a break from the stresses of their lives and to feel less isolated. Where
possible, we facilitate carer social interaction by providing 'coffee
mornings, and cultural events.

Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
Ehsas Carers was established as an unincorporated association (carers
support group) in 2004 and became a Charitable Incorporated
Organisation in 2016.
We work with Dudley Council for Voluntary Servi￿'s Integrated Plus
locality link worker(s) who can make referrals of families who have
children with complex health needs and disabilities.
We support family carers particularly where there are barriers to
engaging with public services - unable to speak English fluently,
lack of awareness of services, and inability to self-advocate.
Family carers have received support including interpretation at
appointmentsl meetings with various health, social services and
other public authority professionals.
The project co-ordinator is available to field enquiries and offer
support lo family carers in significant need.
We reviewed the Carers Link Worker project, and intend to recruit
a suitable candidate shortly.
