KJ/ IER Oclob•r 2018 The Care Rights Project ## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 24th August 2022 to 31st March 2023 ## Objectives For the public benefit, the prevention or relief of poverty, and the relief of those in need by reason of ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, amongst adult migrants with care needs in the UK. ## Activities The provision of information, advice and advocacy to migrants with no recourse to public funds regarding their rights to access social care under the Care Act 2014. The provision of specialist advice to other organisations regarding the rights of their clients who are migrants with no recourse to public funds to access social care under the Care Act 2014 in order to support their work. Making referrals to other organisations where appropriate and necessary in order to benefit clients. The provision of training to other organisations to raise awareness of problems with the implementation of the Care Act 2014 in relation to migrants with no recourse to public funds and strategies for overcoming these. Making small grants to clients of The Care Rights Project experiencing destitution in accordance with our grant making policy. The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public Benefit. ## Achievements The Care Rights Project was converted from a Community Interest Project to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on the 24th August 2022 and this has resulted in a relatively short reporting period. During this reporting period The Care Rights Project has worked directly with 20 clients (including 13 new clients). All of whom benefited from advice regarding their rights to access social care under the Care Act 2014 including the potential impact of their immigration status. Where the need for immigration advice, or other advice beyond the scope of the Project, was identified clients were signposted or referred as appropriate. 16 out of 20 clients were potentially eligible for support under the Care Act. 3 out of these16 clients declined to be referred and decided to use the advice they were given to take action on their own. 1 out of these 16 clients was also eligible for support under Section 117 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and decided to pursue this instead. 1 out of these 16 clients was already receiving some support under the Care Act 2014.

In 7 out of 11 cases clients requested accommodation, subsistence and a package of care. This has been provided by the clients’ local authority in 5 out of 7 cases. In 1 case the local authority have provided accommodation and subsistence but not a package of care (this is case was therefore referred out to a community care solicitor). We are still awaiting for the outcome of the final case. In 2 out of 11 cases the clients were asylum seekers in Home Office accommodation receiving Section 95 subsistence. Therefore only a care package/aids and adaptions were requested. This was provided in both cases. In 2 out of 11 cases the clients were already being accommodated by their Local Authority and an increase to subsistence and care was requested. This was provided in both cases. In cases where accommodation has been provided this has resulted in the avoidance of street homelessness or the need for clients to live in very unsuitable circumstances. For instance, several clients reported having to share a bed with a relative or sleep in common areas with no privacy. One client had been physically abused by his landlord. The provision of accommodation has also relieved the burden on families/friends of clients who could no longer support them in extremely difficult times. In cases where subsistence payments have been provided this has allowed clients with no other form of financial support to buy essentials such as food and toiletries. In cases where a care package has been put in place this has helped to meet clients’ needs for personal care, help with preparing food, ensuring that their environment is clean and safe and that they can access their local community. Similarly, the provision of subsistence and care by Local Authorities has relieved the burden on clients’ communities - most clients had friends and acquaintances that were struggling to support and care for them, but due to their own financial or social difficulties found this unsustainable. The Care Rights Project has made grants totalling £683.5 to 14 clients in accordance with our grant making policy. The Care Rights Project has indirectly assisted 11 individuals by providing specialist advice to workers/volunteers at 7 different organisations via phone and email. We have also delivered a short online training session to organisations involved in adult safeguarding. The Care Rights Project secured £3700 in grants and received £225 in donations from the public. This was in line with our budget. ## Financial Review At the end of the period The Care Rights Project was in credit at £9,318. A grant of £10,000 had been awarded but not yet paid and further funding to cover the costs of the next financial period had been applied for. Funding for the following period is intended to include the build up of reserves to £5,000. This amount will be sufficient to allow The Care Rights Project to run for approximately three months and the Trustees feel that this will support our resilience against key financial risks.
