Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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.

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

In 2020, in response to the 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 final year of that plan.

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.

During our financial year of 2022-2023 we focussed on three priority areas:

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.

Making the Difference in 2022-2023

During the 12 months to July 2023, we worked with over 3,700 individuals across the county . 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 over 650 volunteers , we supported low-income families, vulnerable young people, and low-skilled adults to:

We achieved 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: helping 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.

We know our work is effective and creates social return because the people we work with:

“This is the best thing I have done in my life… I wish I had been here ten years ago.”

Skills to Thrive

Mentoring for Work

Mentoring by trained volunteers or staff helps young people and adults to gain confidence and overcome barriers so they can engage in community activities and find sustainable employment and/or further education.

All our employment support targets people described as ‘furthest from the labour market’ - those who are socially isolated, have been or are at risk of long-term unemployment, have mild mental health issues or who have learning difficulties.

Our Alliance (west Surrey) and Aspire (east Surrey) projects, both funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund, helped 23 adults who were economically inactive and finding it hard to secure a job. The problems they faced included low literacy, having a criminal record, or addiction recovery.

The goal was 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.

The Aspire project finished in November 2022 and Alliance in March 2023.

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, the Henry Smith Charity, and the Ingram Trust, has enabled us to expand the work to other targeted groups. These include refugees and people with additional needs and/or Autism Spectrum Condition.

Over the year, over 220 young people were referred to the team (including Women in Focus*, Afghan and Syrian displaced persons, and Ukrainian guests). 88% were supported into work, further education, training or apprenticeships; of the whole group, 30% also began volunteering.

Specifically, the team have:

*Women in Focus was an offshoot group that supported women looking for opportunities to either start a job, training, education, or pursuing new skills. This project was absorbed into the main programme in March 2023.

Staff and volunteers supported 215 beneficiaries into employment, training, or education

Educational Support for Vulnerable Students

STEPS to16 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.

Our 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.

With this approach we aim 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.

The nurturing environment and Life Skills curriculum (Healthy Living, Domestic Cooking, Sport and Fitness, Group and Teamwork, Preparation for work and college, vocational activities, art etc.) helps the students to develop strong life skills as they transition into adulthood.

During 2022-2023, 22 students were supported by the team, including twelve year 11 students who took their exams. All successfully secured accredited qualifications.

91% of STEPS to 16 leavers have gone on to further education or into employment

Supporting Young People’s Mental Health

Surrey Care Trust continues to be part of the Surrey Wellbeing Partnership - an 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 addition to the one-to-one mentoring, wellbeing group work and activity days were offered to improve confidence and emotional development.

Over the year, our expert mentoring team worked with specially trained volunteers - Wellbeing Mentors – to support 87 young people, aged 11-18, living with problems such as OCD, self-harm and eating disorders.

5

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

Of the young people we helped through our mental health support, 89% reported raised aspirations and 93% reported reduced anxiety.

These days 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.

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

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 54 young people experiencing anxiety and depression because of issues like problems at home, bullying, bereavement, and relationship difficulties

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.

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, nearly 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:

“I don't have enough words to say thank you for all this... the park activities thoroughly engaged not only my children but also other kids from different age groups.”

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 Home-Start , 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.

One-to-one mentoring empowers parents and helps young people work through problems so they are more manageable, to make positive choices, and improve their educational outcomes, employment prospects, relationships, and their emotional wellbeing.

Over the past year, the Family Mentoring teams supported 635 young people and parents across the county (a 29% increase) and a further 276 through group support activities. Beneficiaries reported improvements in their resilience, wellbeing, confidence, and self-esteem.

Working with a wide range of families with multiple needs, our trained volunteer mentors delivered a package of our one-to-one mentoring, Home-Start’s home visiting, group work/parenting support, and signposting to further help.

“Just being listened to and seen as someone important has made such a difference. I have a sense of purpose and know I can achieve whatever I put my mind to.”

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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, Autism Spectrum Condition, dyspraxia etc.), 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.

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.

Such support means most problems are addressed before they spiral out of control or become dangerous.

In July, the Family Centre was, once again, graded “Exceptional” in terms of performance for the period April 2022 to March 2023. Surrey County Council concluded that:

The Centre “provided clear evidence of the positive impact it has when working with families” and “The Early Help offer is reflective of the needs of the community and it is evident that families know where to come for support”

Over the past year, the Family Centre team have successfully worked with 172 parents and supported 88 children

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, gain qualifications, and enjoy new opportunities.

Our trained volunteers manage the day-today 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.

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.

Hundreds of people enjoyed Tranquility’s cruises and activities on the River Wey including people living in homeless hostels, children with specific needs, older people with limited mobility (the boat can accommodate up to two wheelchairs) and our own STEPS to 16 students, and young people and parents supported by their wellbeing or family mentors.

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 2023.

Swingbridge Endeavour 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 completed almost 3,600 hours of environmental conservation activities along the waterways in and around the Rivers Wey and Thames, including:

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’.

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.

Over 720 people benefited from the wellbeing cruises, confidence boosting courses, and environmental activities.

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

Gateway Community Allotment

Originally, the activities delivered by the award winning Gateway Community Allotment (near Reigate) aimed to help anyone at risk of isolation, and the long-term unemployed, to make positive changes.

Until November 2022 when our Aspire Contract ended, the team worked closely with the employment and family mentoring teams to provide opportunities for people to develop practical skills and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening, nature, and the outdoors – all within a safe space. 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.

In January 2023, the Allotment evolved to be the first home of our new Outside & Active courses.

These courses, funded by the Community Foundation for Surrey’s new Scale Up Mental Health Fund, are designed to help young people improve their mental health by being outdoors and taking part in nature based therapies. The natural setting, activities, and opportunities to make friends, helps to boost young people’s confidence and reduce their social isolation.

A great deal has been learnt through the delivery of the courses to three groups and we look forward to delivering new courses to more groups over the next twelve months.

“I love coming here, I can be friends with lots of people and I enjoy coming out of school and learning new things. The staff are so friendly and I love Rusty the dog. My family have said they have seen me improve in coming here and I want to continue.”

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, 189 new volunteers joined our ‘ranks’, who, along with our existing volunteers, donated the equivalent of £470,000 of their time .

In return, we were able to provide the volunteers with over 7,000 hours of training on a range of issues such as building confidence; communication; relationships; finding, securing, and maintaining employment; parenting skills; behaviour management; mental health support.

Volunteers donated 34,300 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 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.

As individuals, each Trustee supports a specific programme or strategic priority through regular meetings and visits.

Quality and Assurance

Fundraising

2022-2023 was another full year for the Trust’s Fundraising and Marketing team. We saw the end of our 40[th] anniversary celebrations, the launch of our new website, and were the first to be awarded a grant from the Community Foundation for Surrey’s new Scale Up Mental Health fund.

Thanks to their commitment and generosity and that of 529 individuals, 27 charitable trusts, 20 community organisations and local businesses, and several local authorities who supported our fundraising efforts, the Trust raised £400,000 for the financial year, and a further £181,000 for the financial years of 2023-2025.

With their support, we have been able to consolidate our Nurture through Nature activities and begin to develop an innovative, 12 week course based on therapeutic nature activities, all to support vulnerable young people aged 11-30 who struggle with their mental health.

Research

March 2023 saw the culmination of a months long survey of our service users to better understand their current needs and how they had changed since the Covid 19 Pandemic. Through this research we discovered that our beneficiaries live with multiple complex needs - more so than during the Pandemic.

Through the publication: Complex and Compounded , we reported that, on average, our beneficiaries live with 7 distinct problems and over ¾ live with problems in all three areas of Wellbeing, Skills, and Relationships.

Unsurprisingly, the longer people live with their challenges, the more intense, complex, and entrenched those challenges become.

We were proud to share these findings with other support providers at our Symposium 2023 with a view of not only using this information to shape and inform our own services but those offered by partners and collaborators across the county.

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.

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

Financial Review

The financial outturn in 2022-2023 is very similar to last year with a surplus of just under 6%. Scrutiny of costs and a change in our investment policy has mitigated some of the impact of the cost-of-living crisis enabling us to make a healthy surplus and increase our reserves.

At the close of this year our unrestricted reserves were £649,206 compared to £538,040 in 2022.

In summary:

Income for the year to 31 July 2023 has reduced slightly to £1,872,109 compared with £1,895,669 for the previous year.

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.

In 2023-2024 the Early Help contracts will be re- tendered in key areas. Whilst we remain confident, there is inevitably an increased financial risk.

To mitigate this, and in consideration of the economic environment, we have increased our general reserves this year to £619,206 (4-5 months of operating costs).

These include:

15

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

Risk Management

We develop our risk management process and procedure throughout the year to address significant risks.

Mitigating factors are identified for each risk and 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 most significant risks identified during the year included:

The quantified assessment of risk, the risk management policy, and action plans are agreed at regular meetings throughout the year.

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

The Future

Three years ago, Surrey Care Trust, and indeed the world, was in a very different place. We looked to the future during a time of global pandemic and worked to predict the impact this would have on our communities, our organisation, and most importantly, on our beneficiaries.

We knew that those we worked with were disproportionately affected by the pandemic in terms of their mental health, their opportunities, and their relationships.

As ever, Surrey Care Trust responded quickly and effectively committing to a strategy of: 1. Understanding needs – our clients’ and the county’s

  1. Provision of high quality and flexible services

  2. Stability of resource

  3. Greater organisational integration to achieve maximum impact

  4. An enabled and empowered workforce

We have achieved in all areas: we understand the needs of the people we work with and shared this with partners to inform provision across the county, we have developed new services in new fields (mental health, employment etc.) while continuing to improve those services we know make a difference (family mentoring, educational support…). We have invested where we can, to ensure we are robust and able to continue responding to need, and we have created a workforce of nearly 700 people (mostly volunteers) trained and ready to support the most vulnerable people in Surrey. In short, our three year plan has been a success.

However, the global or local situations continue to be challenging, and as has always been the case in SCT’s 40-year history the charity has to respond with vigour and clarity to make the difference to those it supports.

At time of writing, we face an enormous period of change – the development of our Nurture through Nature activities (through our Outside & Active Courses) and, due to the retendering of Surrey County Council’s Early Help contract, the evolution of our Flourishing Families mentoring support.

There is no doubt that by December 2024 Surrey Care Trust will be a very different organisation if it is to respond effectively to these challenges.

Our commitment and intentions remain; we will continue to focus on people’s needs – early, family intervention and support, employment, training or education, mental health or even offending. We will continue to be responsive, flexible, and creative; provide services that are based on evidence and need, and work in collaboration - whether it be with partners or the local environment.

Only by working in this way can we help people in Surrey to break their Cycle of Disadvantage.

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient 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.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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.

These Financial Statements were approved by the members of the Board on 12[th] December 2023 and are signed on their behalf by:

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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 2023 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:

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.

19

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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

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 :

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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.

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which 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.

21

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

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).

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at:

https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. 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 2022-2023

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 July 2023

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:

b)

Going Concern

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate, they have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. This includes the retendering of Surrey County Council’s Early Help contracts which could impact - through considerable growth or reduction. Either way the Trustees are confident in the ability of the trust to adjust and continue as an entity.

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 continue to consider the charity's forecasts and projections throughout the year. 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:

26

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

1. Accounting policies (continued)

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.

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:

2023 2022
Fundraising 14% 14%
Skills To Thrive 36% 40%
Flourishing Families 46% 44%
Nurture through Nature 4% 2%

27

Surrey Care Trust Trustees’ Report 2022-2023

1. Accounting policies (continued)

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.
