**TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR** 

On behalf of the trustees of Kingston WelCare, I am pleased to present our annual report and accounts for 2024. 

This year has been one of growth and resilience as we have made significant progress in supporting Kingston families. With funding from the Royal Borough of Kingston’s Community Resilience Fund, we partnered with All Saints Church to launch Stay and Play sessions and After School Family Sessions, providing vital support for parents and enriching experiences for children. 

Our collaboration with BriteBox continued to address food insecurity through family cooking sessions, now expanded with additional support from the Southwest London Health Inequalities Fund. We also organized diverse school holiday activities, thanks to the Kingston Nursing Association, offering families access to cultural and recreational experiences. 

We developed a new initiative with Kingston Young Carers, set to launch in October 2024, aimed at supporting young carers and their families. Additionally, our PlayPlus project, funded by BBC Children in Need, will support young children whose parents face mental health challenges, launching in Spring 2025. 

We are deeply grateful for the generous support from our donors and volunteers, which has been crucial in maintaining our services and overcoming unexpected challenges. 

Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our projects, enhancing family resilience, and strengthening our collaborations. Our focus remains on improving emotional well-being, reducing poverty’s impact, and fostering parenting skills to better the lives of young children in Kingston. 

We believe Kingston WelCare is well-positioned to continue and grow our positive impact on the lives of families in Kingston in the coming years.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Kingston and District WelCare Association (“Kingston WelCare”), established in the late 1880’s, is a Christian based, well-respected local organisation with a rich history in providing parent and child welfare. 

Over the decades the services provided have been regularly updated to better meet the changing needs of each generation, moving from supporting unmarried mothers at its inception to the present-day parenting support activities. Our base remains at WelCare House which was substantially refurbished in 1989 with further improvements over the following decades thanks to the Mayor's charity fund and other community contributions. 

Our presence in Kingston has been a building block to much bigger things. WelCare’s services empower parents and build supportive caring networks, creating a lasting ripple effect. For many families, it only requires small changes to hold the family together. The Kingston community continues to need grass root organisations like Kingston WelCare that offer effective ‘early help’ at the point of need, so parents do not have to wait until they meet statutory thresholds and require costly interventions. 

**Our vision** is of a world where parents have the confidence and skills to build strong relationships with their children, where they and their families have the capacity and resilience to bounce back from life’s hard knocks and lead happy fulfilling lives. 

## **Our Mission** 

Kingston WelCare’s mission is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where local families can meet and connect with other parents to share stories and advice. By listening to parents, we seek to work with them and other local organisations to offer professional help as well as providing a range of creative services that benefit children by increasing the confidence, well-being, and resilience of their parents. 

## **Our Values** 

## _**Compassion and respect**_ 

- Connecting and empathising with parents. 

- Starting with parents’ needs, respecting them, and treating them with dignity. 

- Supporting parents’ choices and decisions. 

- Respect and celebrate cultural and religious diversity. 

## _**Fellowship and cooperation**_ 

- Empowering parents to develop projects and activities that improve their wellbeing and deliver lasting change. 

- Help develop and strengthen parental peer support and parental resilience. 

- Strengthening local social cohesion by promoting solidarity and cooperation across cultural and religious differences. 

To achieve our goals, we provide a caring and safe environment where parents and carers support one another and can shape the projects and activities Kingston WelCare provides. 

Through these activities, staff can help parents improve their wellbeing, make lasting change, and build resilience whilst developing cross-cultural supportive connections within the community.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The past year has seen significant advancements as we expanded our existing projects and launched new initiatives. We have forged valuable relationships with supporters and organizations, actively promoted our room hire services, and maintained both our house and garden. Throughout, we have remained responsive to the evolving needs of Kingston families, ensuring their voices were heard and addressed. 

## **Kingston WelCare and All Saints Kingston Project** 

In November, we were delighted to secure funding from the Royal Borough of Kingston's (RBK) Community Resilience Fund to develop an innovative project in partnership with All Saints Church Kingston. The aim is to combine our strengths to empower families, bolster emotional resilience, and provide enriching play experiences for children. 

Our approach is distinctive, focusing on supporting parents as they navigate the challenges of parenting. All Saints Church contributes expertise in active listening and offers essential training for staff and volunteers, while WelCare provides deep insights into parental issues, particularly those relating to mental health and emotional well-being. 

## **Cooking Together Project** 

Our collaboration with BriteBox continues to provide family cooking sessions, aimed at addressing food insecurity and fostering family unity within Kingston's vulnerable communities. These sessions, conducted in the WelCare kitchen, focus on involving the entire family in meal preparation, promoting healthy eating, enhancing family communication, building cooking skills, and supporting emotional well-being. This project targets families experiencing significant hardship and food insecurity, with participants selected from WelCare families, local households benefiting from BriteBox, and families known to Refugee Action Kingston. 

We have successfully secured additional funding from RBK and support from the Southwest London (SWL) Health Inequalities Fund to continue this vital project. 

## **Holiday Activities** 

We have continued to organize a variety of school holiday activities for families with children of all ages. Funded by the Kingston Nursing Association, these activities provide opportunities for families to enjoy outings and experiences they might not otherwise be able to afford or feel confident undertaking alone. The year's activities included visits to the Rose Theatre, Kew Gardens, Hounslow Urban Farm, and local park picnics. We also hosted crafting sessions, cooking classes, and our highly anticipated Christmas Party. 

## **Kingston Young Carer Families Project** 

In collaboration with Kingston Young Carers, we are excited to introduce a new initiative designed to support young carers and their families. These afterschool sessions, which will include meals, aim to promote fun and strengthen family communication by incorporating the NHS's Five Ways to Mental Wellbeing. This spring, we worked closely with Kingston Young Carers and a dedicated WelCare volunteer to develop this project, which is scheduled to launch in October 2024.

## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** 

Our focus for the coming year is to continue running and expanding the projects outlined above, ensuring they effectively meet the needs of children and their parents in Kingston. WelCare remains committed to addressing the challenges faced by local families, aligning with the local authority's goal of enhancing family resilience. We also recognize the importance of collaboration with other charitable organizations, as demonstrated by our ongoing partnerships across various initiatives. This collaborative approach allows us to pool our skills, knowledge, and expertise, resulting in a greater and more positive impact on the community. 

We are thrilled to have received funding from BBC Children in Need to continue our PlayPlus project. This initiative is focused on supporting young children whose parents, particularly mothers, are struggling with mental health issues, such as postnatal depression. The project delivers activities that enhance parenting skills, foster attachment, and bonding between parent and child, and encourage participation in weekly play sessions. PlayPlus is set to launch in Spring 2025. 

Looking ahead, we will continue our efforts to secure more core funding, which is crucial for the long-term financial stability of WelCare and WelCare House. Our overarching commitment is to offer continuous support to parents as they navigate the challenges of parenting, with a focus on: 

- Improving parent and family emotional well-being 

- Reducing the impact of poverty on Kingston families 

- Increasing parents' confidence and aspirations 

- Strengthening parenting skills and family resilience 

By addressing these areas, we aim to improve the life chances of young children and create a brighter future for Kingston families.

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that Kingston WelCare has appropriate systems of control, both financial and operational.

**TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## **DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** 

In so far as the Trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's Independent Examiner is unaware; and 

- the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Independent Examiner is aware of that information. 

## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial Period. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charity SORP 2015. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

On behalf of the Trustees

**TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 11 to 20. 

## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES 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 Period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination 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 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should

**TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 . Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below.  The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Period and the preceding Period. 

## **1 .1 Basic of accounting** 

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 (FRS 102)(effective 1 January 2019)-Charities SORP(FRS102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

Kingston WelCare meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.  Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The financial statements are prepared in £ sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

## **1 .2 Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.  The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income : 

Income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable.  Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.  The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. 

Gifts donated for resale are included as incoming resources within activities for generation funds when they are sold. 

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the Period in which they are receivable. 

13 



**TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 


## **1 .3 Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.  Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Equipment costs are considered to be minimal and therefore are charged to the Period in which they are purchased. 

## **1 .4 Leasing** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **1 .5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets include freehold property which is stated on an existing use, open market value basis.  The property is not depreciated as, in the opinion of the trustees, the residual value will be at least equivalent to the valuation. 

All other assets costing more than £250 are capitalised and are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows 

Computers : over three years commencing in the first quarter after payment 

Fixtures & fittings : over five years commencing in the first quarter after payment 

## **1 .6 Going Concern** 

After making enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.  Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.
