Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **About Surrey Care Trust**
We support some of the most vulnerable and socially marginalised people in Surrey - those from low-income families, vulnerable young people and low skilled adults – to give them the confidence and self belief, skills and education, aspirations and opportunities to create better lives for themselves and their families.
In 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, we devised a three-year strategy that would enable us to build on our learnings, develop our partnerships, and reach new groups of people in need. This report reviews the second year of that plan.
During our financial year of 2021-2022 we focussed on three priority areas:
## **Our Vision**
We are the local charity working with volunteers, to make Surrey a place where vulnerable people have the opportunities, skills and support they need to achieve their potential.
## **Our Mission**
We are breaking the Cycle of Disadvantage in Surrey by equipping vulnerable people with the skills and confidence they need to change their lives, and their futures.
**Making the Difference:** developing an integrated approach of effective early intervention and holistic support - ensuring vulnerable people and families in Surrey have access to high quality services which respond to their changing needs
**People at the Heart:** ensure our volunteers and staff are enabled and empowered; ensure we understand our communities’ needs
**Quality and Assurance:** ensure we have the stability of resource to consistently deliver our programmes
Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Making the Difference in 2021-2022**
During the 12 months to July 2022, we worked with over 3,800 individuals across the county – a 51% increase from the previous year. We helped them to become better parents, find stable employment, build their confidence and resilience, and gain the qualifications or personal skills they need to progress in life.
Working with nearly 600 volunteers, we supported low-income families, vulnerable young people, and low-skilled adults to:
Our work is effective and creates social return because the people we work with:
- Gain awards and qualifications or improve their skills in other ways
- Engage in volunteering and community activities and contribute to society
- Look for and find work, or progress into further learning
- Tell us they feel more self-confident, positive, respected, and valued.
- Build their confidence and skills to create better chances for life, learning and work
- Improve their wellbeing and engagement with their local communities
- Provide positive childhoods and supportive families
We achieve this through our cohesive approach across three complementary strands:
**Skills to Thrive:** helping people to build their confidence and skills to create better chances for life, learning, and work
**Flourishing Families:** supporting families to provide positive childhoods and supportive families
**Nurture through Nature:** harnessing the power of nature to help people improve their wellbeing and engagement with their local communities.

## **Skills to Thrive**
## **Mentoring for Work**
Mentoring by trained volunteers or staff helps young people and adults to gain confidence and identify ways of overcoming barriers so they can engage in community activities and find sustainable employment and/or further education. All of our employment support targets people described as ‘furthest from the labour market’ - those who are socially isolated, long-term unemployed, have mild mental health issues, or live alone or in temporary accommodation.
_Steps2Work_ is a project supported by Woking Borough Council and the Department for Work and Pensions. It is designed to engage with young people aged 16-24yrs, and Care Leavers, and support them to secure positive employment and/or educational outcomes. The success of the project, along with funding from the Community Foundation for Surrey, has enabled us to expand the work to other targeted groups. These include refugees and people with protected characteristics.
Over the year 95% of clients had successful outcomes - 55% were supported into work or education and 40% completing certified training, including 30 displaced persons and their families (Afghan and Syrian refugees, and Ukrainian guests) and 16 Women in Focus*.
Our _Alliance_ (west Surrey) and _Aspire_ (east Surrey) projects, both funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund, help adults who are economically inactive and finding it hard to secure a job. The problems they face include low literacy, have a criminal record, or are recovering from addiction.
The goal is to support clients to successfully secure employment, move on to education, or take on other positive steps e.g seeking further support for mental health. Last year, the teams helped 94% and 90% of their beneficiaries, respectively.
_*Women in Focus is an offshoot group that supports women looking for opportunities to either start a job, training, education, or pursuing new skills._
## **Staff and volunteers supported 190 beneficiaries into employment or education**
**Educational Support for Vulnerable Students**
4
## Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
_STEPS to 16_ is an alternative education programme specialising in supporting and reengaging 14 to 16 year olds struggling with mainstream education. The students live with a range of needs and challenges including problems at home, low self-esteem, and poor social, mental, and emotional health.
The high tutor to student ratio supports the holistic learning environment, the curriculum is tailored to the specific needs of each student, and the more informal educational setting of our Learning Centre (Woking) helps students to feel more at ease.
Our aim is to nurture the young people’s social development and help them achieve the best possible learning outcomes. The team encourages and enables students to gain qualifications in core subjects such as English and Maths.
These skills and their accredited learning (delivered through the Open College Network) cover subjects such as Healthy Living, Drug awareness, Domestic cooking, and Preparing for Work. Students also taking part in exercise and fitness etc. and a range of enrichment opportunities to help them succeed in employment, further learning and all areas of life.
During 2021-2022 twenty students were supported by the team, including twelve year 11 students who took their exams. All successfully secured accredited qualifications to help them on to further education or employment.
We are also pleased to report that of the 24 students who made up the ‘covid cohort’ (students who sat their GCSEs during 2020 and 2021) 25% are still in education and 50% are in employment.
The nurturing environment also helps the students to develop strong life skills to help them as they transition into adulthood.
## **50% of STEPS to 16 leavers have gone on to further education and 30% into employment**
## **Supporting Young People’s Mental Health**
In April 2021, Surrey Care Trust became a founding member of the Surrey Wellbeing Partnership - a new alliance of NHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health service) and voluntary sector organisations working to improve the emotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people in Surrey.
As a result, our expert mentoring team worked with specially trained volunteers to develop _Wellbeing Mentors._ Over the year, these mentors worked with 80 young people, aged 11-18, living with problems such as OCD, self-harm and eating disorders.
As well as providing one to one mentoring support, we also supported clients’ wellbeing, confidence, and emotional development through group work and activity days.
These days, designed to improve the young peoples’ confidence and self-esteem, boost activity levels, and improve mental health, took place at our _Gateway Community Allotment_ or on our Community Boat _Swingbridge Tranquility._ Other activities were also arranged such as paddleboarding and horse riding.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
In addition to our Wellbeing Mentors and with funding from BBC Children in Need, we are able to offer a free and independent _Counselling_ service for 16 to 25 year olds who are unable to access support elsewhere.
Our volunteer counsellors, who work under a trained supervisor and manager (all are members of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), provide 12 weekly sessions to help the clients they are supporting to feel valued, less helpless and more positive and to live life more fully.
Over the 12 weeks they receive support, we measure the young people’s progress in six areas: feeling supported, levels of anxiety, positive relationships, decision making, socialising and communication skills. Initially clients rate themselves lowest when asked if they feel supported in life, but after counselling tell us that they feel much more confident at socialising and decision making.
Over the past year, this service supported 71 young people experiencing anxiety and depression because of issues like problems at home, bullying, bereavement, and relationship difficulties.
**100% of our beneficiaries aged 25 and under, who needed support with anxiety or low confidence, saw improvements to their mental health**
## **Empowering Local Communities**
Working closely with the _Stanwell Family Centre,_ the _Stanwell Local Conversation_ is a grass roots initiative, funded by the People’s Health Trust, and led by local people to create a well connected, healthy and active community.
Over the past year, over 1,500 adults, children, and families took part in activities ranging from a Lantern Parade, celebrating Diwali, Family Fundays and of course, activities delivered from the Conversation’s award-winning Community Allotment.
Those within ‘The Conversation’ work to:
- Encourage pride in the village
- Bring residents together to take action on local issues (such as the environment and social connections)
- Support residents to engage and get involved with their neighbourhood through events and activities
- Encourage good physical and mental health
- Reduce social isolation

## **Flourishing Families**
## **Early Help Mentoring for Young People and Families**
Our Early Help _Family Mentoring_ , funded by Surrey County Council and delivered in partnership with HomeStart _,_ supports children or young people aged 0 to 19 (or up to 25 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), and their parents, struggling to cope with life’s challenges and in need of resilience support.
Most families who come to us were struggling with mental health issues but also children’s behaviour, relationship difficulties or challenges because of conditions such as ADHD or ASD.
Working with a wide range of families with multiple needs, our trained volunteer mentors deliver a package of our one-to-one Mentoring, Home-Start’s home visiting, group work/parenting support, and signposting to further support.
The one-to-one mentoring helps young people and families to work through problems (so they are more manageable) and to make positive choices.
Clients improve their resilience, well-being, confidence, and self-esteem; mentoring helps empower families to make positive changes and to improve their educational outcomes, employment prospects, relationships, and their emotional wellbeing.
With help from Waverley Borough Council, we were able to build on our successes and expand our Family Mentoring in the area focussing on neighbourhoods such as Cranleigh Rural and Farnham Upper Hale and other areas of notably higher deprivation.
The team provide one-to-one mentoring for young people up to the age of 25. In addition to the existing benefits of our Family Mentoring programme, the team work to improve the young people’s mental and physical wellbeing and decrease their stress and anxiety, reduce their loneliness and social isolation, empower them to remain independent and thrive once support has ended, and enable the young people to access information and advice about local services.
Over the past year, the Family Mentoring team supported 454 young people and parents across the county.
**“I can tell my mentor anything… I know she is always there for me”**

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Stanwell Family Centre**
Run in partnership with Surrey County Council, our _Stanwell Family Centre_ is located in one of Surrey’s most deprived wards. Our experienced outreach workers work with families identified as being most in need and to provide early help support to families with children 0-11yrs.
Often families are struggling with a multitude of complex problems such as limited parenting skills, children with special needs (Attention Deficit Disorder, ASD, dyspraxia), domestic abuse, low levels of literacy and/or English as a second language.
The team provide specialist services and support including outreach support, parenting programmes, the Freedom Programme for victims of domestic abuse, and the Freedom Programme for Children who have witnessed domestic abuse or suffered abuse.
Such support means most problems are addressed before they spiral out of control or become dangerous.
In early 2020, the Surrey County Council Public Health Team began work on how to foster a whole systems approach to obesity in Surrey, which is being developed and tested by Leeds Beckett University, on behalf of Public Health England, the Local Government Association, and the Association of Directors of Public Health.
In late 2021, the Stanwell Family Centre received a grant to bring together key groups in Spelthorne, with an interest in the high levels of obesity in Surrey’s young people and the actions most likely to have greatest impact.
They also work with a wide range of partner agencies, voluntary organisations, councillors, local schools and nurseries, as well as professionals such as midwives, social workers, speech therapists, health visitors and police officers.
**Over the past year, the Family Centre team have successfully worked with 148 parents and supported 157 children**

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Nurture through Nature**
## **River based activities for Wellbeing and Confidence**
Our two _Swingbridge Community Boats_ give people of all ages the opportunity to learn new skills and enjoy new opportunities.
Our trained volunteers manage the day-to-day operation of Swingbridge: maintaining and repairing the boats, planning trips, activities, and conservation work, and providing informal mentoring for some of our more vulnerable volunteers and clients.
Summer trips on * _Swingbridge1_ made the River Wey accessible to people with limited mobility (the boat can accommodate up to two wheelchairs) or other special needs, while training programmes helped vulnerable young people and adults improve their personal and practical skills. Hundreds of people were still able to enjoy trips and activities including people living in homeless hostels, children with special needs, older people with limited mobility and young people from our Woking Learning Centre.
The Boat also hosted the NHS Early Psychosis Group (who typically carry out environmental conservation activities) who used the galley to run a series of ‘Culinary Cruises’. The quiet, gentle atmosphere provided the perfect place for people living with poor mental health to come together and practise cooking, socialising
and boat handling skills. The feedback from participants surpassed our expectations and, at time of writing, we are planning further "Culinary Cruises" for the winter of 2022.
_Swingbridge2_ crews are made up of trained volunteers, volunteers who need additional support (because of problems like poor mental health, addiction or relationship breakdown), and offenders serving community sentences. Together, they take on a range of environmental conservation activities along the waterways in and around the Rivers Wey and Thames, including:
- In and around the Wey Navigations
- Guildford
- Shalford
- Desborough Island
- Sunbury Lock area
- Thames Lock
- Hurst Park
Local residents – including the wildlife - enjoyed the improved and well maintained habitats after the crews removed large amounts of Himalayan Balsam and Ragwort, fallen trees from tow paths, cleared ditches, coppicing, and tree clearance.
_*September 2022 saw the renaming of both Community Boats to Swingbridge Tranquility and Swingbridge Endeavour. This was to better reflect the impact of the work both the boats and crews have on their passengers, volunteers, and the wider community._
**Over 970 people benefited from the wellbeing trips, confidence boosting courses, and environmental activities, including disadvantaged young people, vulnerable adults, offenders, and our own volunteers.**

## **Gateway Community Allotment**
The activities delivered by the _Gateway Community Allotment_ (near Reigate) aim to help anyone at risk of isolation, and the long-term unemployed, to make positive changes. The team work closely with the employment and family mentoring teams providing opportunities for people to develop practical skills and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening, nature and the outdoors – all within a safe space.
Participants and volunteers took part in a range of activities, everything from planting, weeding, and watering to family friendly craft and nature focussed activities. People and families came from all over the area including many who live with long term unemployment, and young adults struggling with homelessness or learning difficulties. The Allotment also provided a focal point for local businesses to support their community with employees helping to develop and maintain the site.
Over the past year, the site has grown in size and capacity, providing new opportunities to grow plants, interact with wildlife, and take part in forest skill activities. Volunteers and beneficiaries also developed a new sensory area for wellbeing activities. Unfortunately, storm Eunice in February 2022 devastated the area, removing the Polytunnel and damaging equipment. The ever resilient team and volunteers were undeterred and planned ways to develop and improve the site. With the support of the local council and a very generous donation from Joe Wicks, a new permanent structure has been planned to be built in the autumn of 2022.
**Over the past year, 140 adults and young people took part in the Allotment’s activities, and a further 30 families enjoyed the family days hosted throughout the holidays**

## **People at the Heart**
## **Volunteers**
Volunteers are integral to the success of our work. People from all walks of life join us as crew on our Community Boats, mentors, allotment gardeners, marshals at our events and more! As well as helping us to support our clients and strengthen communities, our volunteers tell us how rewarding and life-enhancing they find their volunteer work, with many gaining new skills too thanks to the training we provide.
Last year, 320 new volunteers joined our ‘ranks’, who, along with our existing volunteers, donated the equivalent of £417,000 of their time _._
building confidence; communication; relationships; finding, securing, and maintaining employment; parenting skill; behaviour management; mental health support.
We were also delighted to celebrate our volunteers’ achievements at our 40[th] Anniversary Volunteer Celebration at Guildford Cathedral in March. Joined by past and current volunteers, supporters and partners, the High Sheriff of Surrey, Dr Julie Llewelyn awarded all of the Trust’s volunteers with a very special award recognising their huge contribution to local people and their communities.
In return, we were able to provide over 6,000 hours of training on a range of issues such as
## **Volunteers donated 37,900 hours of their time to help vulnerable and disadvantaged people in Surrey**
## **Trustees**
Our Board of Trustees are volunteers responsible for governing the Trust and directing how it is managed and run. We are privileged to be joined by people who bring a wide range of skills and experiences from business, charity, and our local communities. Together they help drive our work and ensure we make the greatest difference we possibly can.
As individuals, each Trustee supports a specific programme or strategic priority through regular meetings and visits.
In 2022 the Trustees formed a new Investment Committee to oversee the investments made by the Trust.
As a board, our Trustees meet six times a year to review strategic priorities and ensure due diligence of responsibilities and overall management of the Trust, including monitoring of policies and the Trust’s Risk Register.

## **Quality and Assurance**
## **Fundraising**
Thanks to the commitment and generosity of 157 individuals, 30 charitable trusts, 19 community organisations and local businesses, and several local authorities who supported our fundraising efforts, the Fundraising and Marketing team raised £306,000 to support the work and development of the Trust.
The team has also raised £139,000 for the financial years of 2022-2024.
2022 also saw the start of the Trust’s 40[th] Anniversary year. Despite uncertainties around Covid 19 the team were still able to deliver several events throughout the year, these included the two Surrey 5 Peaks Hikeathons, an online Christmas Celebration, our first event with the Morr&Co solicitors promoting Gifts in Will, and the inauguration of the first Guildford Water Festival held in partnership with the Guildford Lions and Carbon Zero.
## **Research**
Over the last year we have been reviewing our monitoring and impact assessment processes. This helps us demonstrate the tremendous impact our support and activities, delivered by our volunteers and staff, has on our clients, and helps inform the development of new services - ensuring our work is fit for purpose and will make a lasting difference.
We have, for instance, learned that the majority of our Steps2Work clients are held back by low confidence, motivation, and anxiety, with the average client facing 5-6 identified barriers to work (at the point of referral).
## **Quality Accreditation**
We invest in nationally-recognised external accreditation to demonstrate the quality of our work and ensure we seek to continually improve the way we run our services.
Our accreditations are:
- ISO 9001 : 2015
- National Community Boats Association (NCBA) Accredited Training Centre Status
- - Open College Network Accredited Centre with direct claims status
- City & Guilds Accredited Centre

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Financial Review**
In 2021-2022 we have continued with the expansion seen in 20-21.
Whilst increasing volumes in our existing work, we have also added some new services to the portfolio e.g. Refugee work coaching in Steps to Work. Income from charitable activities has increased by 17.6% and our fundraising revenue increased by 11.7%.
An increase in our expenditure reflects the increased volume of work. We also invested in a new website. We achieved a surplus of £132,889 (7%) which has enabled us to increase our reserves to cover between 3-4 months of costs.
In summary:
- Income for the year to 31 July 2022 was £1,895,669 compared with £1,634,842 for the previous year. (Expansion of 16%)
- Expenditure was £1,762,780 compared with £1,530,789 (2020-2021).
- A surplus of £132,889 was generated compared with £104,053 (2020-2021)
At the close of this year our unrestricted reserves were £538,040 compared to £403,484 in 2021.
Full details of the results for the year are given in the audited financial statements included in this report.
## **Reserves**
The Board have assessed potential risks and from this drawn a Reserves Policy that will enable us to both invest as much as possible to support our beneficiaries and ensure the Trust’s long-term sustainability, stability, and resilience. Reserves are maintained to be used in the event of unexpected demands on resources and the risk of income becoming unavailable.
These include:
- a) Income funds ceasing e.g., Contracts or Grants not being renewed – funds would be needed to buy time for alternative income streams to be sought or to ensure redundancy costs could be met
The Covid-19 Pandemic and cost of living crisis has further highlighted the importance of healthy reserves to offset risks associated with the broader political and economic environment
Based on these criteria, the Board has agreed to set a minimum level of unrestricted reserves of at least 3 months of operating costs. At the end of this financial year our reserves would cover 3-4 months of operating costs.
Our General Fund Reserves, excluding Designated Funds, at 31 July 2022 were £508,040 compared with £373,484 in 2021.
- b) Covering the risks of unforeseen emergency or other unexpected need for funds, e.g., an unexpected large repair bill or covering long-term sickness
- c) Unexpected calls for funding to develop new opportunities or begin new projects which may require up front expenditure or match funding
- d) Short term deficits in cash flow
15
Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Risk Management**
We continually develop our risk management policy and procedure throughout the year to address significant risks. Mitigating factors are identified for each risk and are reflected in the scoring of both probability and impact.
An in-depth review of risk throughout Surrey Care Trust is undertaken on a regular basis by operational managers, other senior staff and is ultimately overseen by the Board of trustees.
The quantified assessment of risk, the risk management policy and action plans are agreed at regular meetings throughout the year.
The most significant risks identified during the year included:
- Further significant overall reduction in Public Sector funding
- Failure to identify sufficient new funding opportunities to maintain, at a minimum, current turnover
- Significant shortfall on voluntary fundraising target
- Serious Health & Safety or Safeguarding failure

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **The Future**
At time of writing, we draw to a close on our 40[th] anniversary celebrations, a time of both reflection on the past and anticipation for the future. However, the past twelve months have seen enormous change on a global scale. There can be no doubt that significant uncertainty continues for our clients, our staff, and supporters, and for all charities.
Such uncertainty, on such a scale, requires us to find a balance between caution and ambition.
If we are not cautious and safeguard our resources, we risk losing everything we have built and the successes we have achieved. The same is true if we do not continue with our ambition to develop and, where possible, expand or deepen our provision to meet communities’ needs.
We will therefore continue our approach of ensuring our volunteers and staff are enabled and empowered; through our early intervention, ensuring vulnerable people and families have access to high quality services that respond to their challenging needs; maximising our long term impact by ensuring we have the stability of resource to consistently deliver our core programmes; understanding our communities’ needs.
Specifically, this will include:
- Further embedding our mentoring, through an agreed range of standards
- Developing our mentoring services across our three themes
- Delivering, developing, and reviewing our mental health and unemployment services
- - Listening to partners and clients to identify new groups e.g. refugees, offenders, people living with learning difficulties
- Understanding the impact of all our support and activity programmes
- Improving our communications to maximise the impact of our message and reach more people
- Capitalising on our significant presence in areas of known deprivation – Stanwell in the north, Woking in the west, and Reigate & Redhill in the east – to develop service hubs that support innovation and progression of new services.
It is only through such a concerted effort that we will, together, be able to break the Cycle of Disadvantage in Surrey.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Statement Of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also the directors for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees must prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Companies Act 2006) of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Independent Auditors’ report to the members of Surrey Care Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of The Surrey Care Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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:
- Give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- Have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **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 described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical 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**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the 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 entity'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 Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Other Information**
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements 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.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by The Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- The information given in the Trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report, prepared for company law purposes, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- The directors’ report included within the Trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion **:**
- Adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- Certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- The Trustees’ were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 18 the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are 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 the Trustees 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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s 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 error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance 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. These matters were discussed amongst the engagement team at the planning stage and the team remained alert to non-compliance throughout the audit.
include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised: enquiries of management and trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of trustees’ meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 31 July 2022**
## **1. Accounting policies**
- a) Basis of Accounting
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement 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) (2nd Edition, effective January 2019), "Charities SORP" and Companies Act 2006. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
The principal estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements comprise:
- Useful economic lives of fixed assets and depreciation rates
- Aspects of income recognition
## b) Going Concern
The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate, especially in light of COVID-19, and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections as amended to take into account COVID-19 implications. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that Surrey Care Trust has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements
- c) Functional Currency
The functional currency is considered to be in pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the charity operates. The financial statements are also presented in pounds sterling, rounded to the nearest £1.
Income received by way of donations is included when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- Gifts in kind represent assets donated for use by the charity, predominantly premises and legal costs, and are recognised when receivable. Gifts in kind are valued at an estimate of the price the charity would otherwise have paid.
- Income from sponsorship, sale of goods or services is the amount derived from ordinary activities and has been included net of VAT where applicable.
Revenue grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receipt is probable, whichever is earlier. Where unconditional entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity's control, income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the charity can meet such conditions, the income is deferred.
Contract income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as it is earned.
26
Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
- d) Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted income when receivable. Depreciation of fixed assets purchased with such grants is charged against the restricted fund. Where a fixed asset is donated to the Trust for its own use, it is treated in a similar way to a restricted grant.
- e) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of support costs.
- f) Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for charitable purposes.
- g) Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted funds for specific purposes.
- h) Expenditure on raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make donations to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising purpose.
- i) Grants payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled.
- j) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
- k) Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity, including directly attributable administrative costs. Other costs of overall direction and administration specific to each activity are apportioned, based on the proportion of staff costs incurred in each activity to the whole.
Support costs are re-allocated to each of the activities on the following basis which is an estimate, based on staff costs, of the amount attributable to each activity:
||**2022**|**2021**|
|---|---|---|
|Fundraising|14%|14%|
|Skills To Thrive|40%|34%|
|Flourishing Families|44%|50%|
|Nurture through|2%|2%|
|Nature|||
- l) Support costs comprise the costs incurred in supporting the activities of the charity and include insurance, IT support costs, central staffing costs and central office costs as well as governance costs. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities and are included within support costs.
27
Surrey Care Trust **Trustees’ Report 2021-2022**
## **1. Accounting policies (continued)**
- m) 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 expected useful lives are as follows:
- Motor vehicles 5 years Computer and other equipment 3 years
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £700. However, where specific programme funding is provided for the acquisition of fixed assets these costs are only capitalised if their individual cost is in excess of £2,000. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use.
- n) The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. With the exceptions of prepayments and deferred income all other debtor and creditor balances are considered to be basic financial instruments under FRS 102.
- o) Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
- p) Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above.
- q) Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Deferred income represents grants, contract funding and training fees relating to future period.
