The Trustees present the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2025.
## **The Partnership**
Bromley Third Sector Enterprise (BTSE) is a charity working to improve the health and wellbeing of residents in the London Borough of Bromley and surrounding areas.
We manage Bromley Well, an early intervention and prevention contract funded by the London Borough of Bromley and the NHS South East London Integrated Care Board.
We provide a single point of access – a contact centre where people can call or email us and be referred to the relevant service run by our charity partners.
The charity facilitates a partnership under the auspice of “ ~~B~~ TSE” with Age UK Bromley & Greenwich, Bromley Mencap, South East London Mind, Community Links Bromley and Citizens Advice Bromley. The aims of the partnership are to:
- Provide a single point of access for people living in the London Borough of Bromley
- Provide co-ordinated provision of services under a single contract
- Enable the charity to be a core provider of health and social care services in and around London Borough of Bromley
- Enable local voluntary sector organisations to bid for contracts and other funding that they would be unlikely to secure on their own
- Deliver integrated, cost-effective services that deliver the best possible outcomes for people in Bromley and surrounding areas
- Ensure that people's needs are seen holistically and addressed by the right person, in the right place and at the right time
## **Objectives and activities**
The object of Bromley Third Sector Enterprise CIO (the charity), as defined by the constitution, is the advancement of the health and wellbeing of residents of the London Borough of Bromley and the surrounding areas.
The charity’s mission is to facilitate the delivery of health and wellbeing services for the benefit of local communities, by enabling third sector partnerships. By bringing services together, to help local people to live healthier and happier lives and to help maintain their health, wellbeing and independence.

## **Achievements and performance**
The charity managed the successful collaborative delivery and performance of the Bromley Well contract worth over £2.7 million per annum.
The 2024-25 year saw increased demand for our innovated and improved services to meet the needs of Bromley residents within the resources available.
The Bromley Well Service has continued to deliver high quality and consistent services, with almost 17,000 referrals and supporting over 12,000 clients - a 20% increase on 2023-24.
The need for support with benefits, housing and cost of living remains high. Increasing numbers of clients are contacting us with multiple, interlinked problems, requiring more intensive casework and cross-agency coordination.
While we receive referrals for adults of all ages, our largest group seeking help is those aged 55-64 - those of late working age. They are typically needing information, advice and guidance, Long Term Health Conditions support and Carers support.
We've also seen an increase in demand for our Older People's Information and Advice Services, including pensions and benefits checks.
During the year, we realised over £4.75m in benefits and grants for residents, with over £2m from our Forms Completion Service.
Improving services means supporting our staff and volunteers. We received an Innovation Fund grant for Mental Health First Aid training and ongoing support for volunteers and staff. We were able to train 62 participants from partners and the wider voluntary sector, with very positive feedback.
We could not have achieved this without our close partnerships, Bromley Well staff and over 200 volunteers, to whom we give our heartfelt thanks.
Underpinning our work this year was clear progress on the three pillars of our current strategy: sustainability, reach and impact. We have delivered more with the resources we have, improved our accessibility online and in person and deepened our partnerships to prepare us for the challenges ahead, illustrative examples below:
Our Annual Quality Assurance inspection, carried out by LB Bromley, showed that we continue to run a very good service. We revised our Business Continuity Plan and ran a live whole service emergency test which demonstrated that good systems are in place.
We have developed and refined a referral dashboard which details where Bromley Well Referrals come from. By refining our data dashboards that show the demographics and geography of our referrals, we are now able to identify which
5
**BROMLEY THIRD SECTOR ENTERPRISE CIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
partners are referring to us, and for what services. This means we can have strategic conversations about referrals and demand for our services.
We have also introduced new systems and approaches to increase efficiencies. Since we introduced online referrals in June 2023, we have been receiving consistent numbers of both self-referrals and professional referrals (in the mid-hundreds) via the website. Online referrals have also cut email traffic to the SPA contact centre by 62%, reducing the time-consuming to-and-fro of emails, and one of the main reasons for introducing it.
We have also been a leading partner in developing the One Bromley Wellbeing Hub in The Glades shopping centre. This is an in-person, drop-in advice hub – the only one of its kind in Bromley – which helps with general advice and refers into our wider services. It also provides information, legal advice and guidance to address social issues linked to wellbeing.
## _**Case study -Forms Completion Service:**_
_Bromley Well volunteer Carol R single-handedly helped one resident secure over £21,000 in backdated benefit payments._
_The resident has learning difficulties and first came to us for help with their Employment Support Allowance (ESA) claim. Carol worked closely with the client, supporting them to get their Severe Disability Premium (SDP) reinstated. She also helped them to get £21,188 in backdated ESA, dating back over 10 years. They will now also receive transitional elements of Universal Credit payments._
_Carol said, “We worked hard together over 5-6 months and it's extremely satisfying to see all the hard work has paid off. It's great to think I have helped someone who otherwise might be struggling with daily costs of living.”_
We provided a wide range of wellbeing services including:
- Older Adults - Take Home and Settle, Hospital Aftercare, Sitting Service, Handyperson, Befriending
- Adults with Long Term Health Conditions
- Adults with Learning Difficulties
- Adults with Physical Disabilities
- Carers including Young Carers and Mutual Carers
- Dementia Respite
- Employment and Education – for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities and long-term health conditions
- Forms Completion service
- Information, Legal Advice and Guidance - provides impartial information, advice and guidance on other social determinants of health such as housing, debt, benefits, employment, relationships etc. which are crucial to a person’s wellbeing.
6
## **BROMLEY THIRD SECTOR ENTERPRISE CIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
A crucial aspect of our work is the seamless linkage between these services. On average each Bromley Well client presents with 1.5 issues. Whether clients come via the SPA or direct to a service, they are triaged and their needs identified so they can be referred to the services and support required: for example, a Hospital Aftercare referral to Long Term Health Conditions or Carers support, or Advice and Guidance to Employment services. This reduces multiple referrals and means clients get help that is both better integrated and faster - delivering on our mission as an early intervention service.
## _**Case Study – Physical Disabilities**_
_Client M has been supported by both our learning difficulties and physical disabilities services since 2020. His electric wheelchair broke down and he was extremely depressed, unable to leave the house. Our advisor helped him obtain several grants so he could buy a replacement._
_They also gave him emotional support, including weekly check-ins and putting him in touch with The Mental Health Hub and employment services. He’s also had physical disabilities support to get a blue badge and a taxi card._
_He said: “I feel my mental health and my outlook on life have increased considerably. I can venture out and feel like being part of the community again and getting my independence back.”_
We continued to work closely with the London Borough of Bromley, One Bromley (the umbrella body for health and care in the borough), the South East London Integrated Care System, primary care and the wider voluntary sector to ensure the needs of local residents were well met. This is perhaps most evident in our work in raising the profile of unpaid carers. Last year, we took the lead within One Bromley on raising the profile of carers and developing a Carers’ Charter. One year on since the launch of the charter, we’ve seen a 14% increase in carers registered with their GP, ensuring more carers are recognised and supported within primary care. Carer Champions have been identified across One Bromley organisations, helping to embed a “Carer Aware” culture in everyday work. The Bromley Well and Bromley Council carers’ website pages have been updated, making it easier than ever for carers to find the information and support they need.
## **BTSE Associate members**
The charity has 69 Associate Member charities which it engages with and convenes regular forums. At quarterly online forums we included speakers from the wider health and social care sector to inform, engage and consult the network on the adult social care digital strategy, the Plan for Unpaid Carers and the One Bromley strategic alliance of Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector leadership across SE London. We also continue to support communication about the LB Bromley Innovation Fund to Associate Members.
7
**BROMLEY THIRD SECTOR ENTERPRISE CIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **Governance**
Under our Articles of Association, The Board comprises of the CEOs of the five Operational Partners and up to five Independent Trustees, including Chair and Treasurer.
Over the last year, we strengthened our governance and renewed the terms of two independent trustees, Gavin Simpson and Eliana Kingnuthia.
These changes have made BTSE more robust in identifying issues, so it can strengthen services and improve reporting and data, to better demonstrate Bromley Well’s impact. All new trustees undergo an induction process of briefings with existing trustees, Chair and CEO and externally recognised training.
Our sub-committees focus on Operations, Policy and Finance. These meet quarterly, and are each chaired by an independent trustee, with each trustee sitting on at least one committee. Operational Trustees also sit on the Operational Ctte or send nominated deputies.
## **Looking to the Future**
Our primary focus remains supporting the health and wellbeing of Bromley residents through the effective and always developing delivery of the Bromley Well contract. During the year we plan to make further progress towards meeting our strategic objectives, including through:
- Working closely with the London Borough of Bromley’s Adult Services on implementing their digital strategy, to ensure users are heard and systems are developed in partnership
- Representing the VCSE sector on the One Bromley executive and fully engaging in the development of Integrated Neighbourhood Teams as part of the NHS 10 Year Plan
- Engaging further with Bromley Safeguarding Adults Board and council colleagues to improve communications, particularly where vulnerable clients are concerned, and identifying key points of escalation
- Continuing the Carers Charter rollout, and ongoing training with health, social care and voluntary sector colleagues
- Working with the One Bromley Wellbeing Hub to provide face-to-face advice services to vulnerable clients.
- Improving our dashboards to provide comparisons with census and public health data, so we can better understand our service coverage and target resources accordingly.
BTSE now has eight years' experience in developing and running a successful operational partnership model, shared partnership governance, shared service delivery, shared data and communications, including the widely recognised Bromley
8
**BROMLEY THIRD SECTOR ENTERPRISE CIO TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
Well brand. We want to build on these strengths and work towards generating new revenue for BTSE by sharing our expertise.
We have created a unique and effective one-stop wellbeing service which we believe has much to offer. We look forward to the future with confidence.
It is clear the activities undertaken in the year have furthered the charity’s purposes for the public benefit. The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
## **Financial Review**
The overall financial health of the charity is strong, with a secure long-term contract and robust financial controls.
Incoming resources during the year were £2,828,404.
At 31 March 2025 reserves were £252,029 of which £170,000 is invested in two highinterest accounts.
## **Principal funding sources**
The main funding source for the year was from the London Borough of Bromley and South East London Integrated Care Board via the Primary and Secondary Intervention Service (Bromley Well) contract.
## **Reserves policy**
Per the agreements in place with the charity’s commissioners, payments are received to cover specific expenditure. Therefore, the charity does not generally make surpluses or deficits, and is not required to hold any reserves.
We have however agreed a Reserves Policy to ensure prudent risk management of holding funds. This provides for the charity to hold three-months of running costs for the partnership office and to provide a sum to cover necessary investment to facilitate the operation of the contract.
## **Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, UK GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

They are also responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Statement as to disclosure to our auditors**
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
- There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
2025 and of its income and expenditure for the period then ended;
Accounting Practice;
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
## **Responsibilities of the trustees**
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
12
## **BROMLEY THIRD SECTOR ENTERPRISE CIO**
is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 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 these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
- We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud; The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
- We obtained an understanding of the environment that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements.
- We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable accounting standard.
- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
- In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities report.

## **Bromley Third Sector Enterprise CIO Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2025**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102).
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.
## **b) Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **c) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether grants or grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the provision of specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
## **d) Donations of gifts, services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## **e) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **f) Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)**
## **g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of generating funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **h) Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 4.
## **i) Tangible fixed assets**
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Fixtures and fittings 33% on cost Computer equipment 33% on cost
## **j) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **k) Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and hand include cash and two annual bonds of £85,000 each invested as fixed-term deposit accounts.
## **l) Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
