The Foundation helps to broker such volunltrtrring opportunities as well as recording the exlonl and value of this support.

The company has committed lo lully und up to three three- month secondrnents ol CareTech staff to the Foundation, both to support the Foundaii'on on ktry strategic projects but lo support the individLJals' professional developmenl.

A good Theory of Change can provide a clear and succinct encapsulation ol the purpose ol the organisation and how every aspect of its work contribLJtes lo delivering Ils vision. Crucially, a Theory ol Change should underpin a robust irnpact assessrnenl methodology. Our Theory ol Change is sel out in the schematic below that seeks lo arliculale the value ihal Ihe Foundation can provide. as sutnmarised in our vpdaled Purpose Slatemenl..

The key assumptions in ihe accounts are the recognition of multi-year grant comrnitmenls and the valuation ol investments.
