URTURE FLOURISH THRIVE 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.
ABOUT OUR WORK 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. Following our 2020-2023 three-year plan which responded to the Covid Pandemic. the financial year of 2023-2024 was one of significant change and transition for the Trust. However. our remit and commitment remained the same and we focused on three priority areas= Making the Difference: developing an integrated approach of effective early intervention and holistic 5UPPOrt- 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 10
MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN 2023-2024 During the 12 months to the end ofjuly 2024. we worked with over 5,100 individuals and families across the county. This is an increase of 37% from the previous year which reflects the transitions in our service delivery and the inclusion of more widespread family resilience support. We helped those people to become better parents, find stable employment, engage with their environment and community, build their confidence and resilience, and gain the qualifications or personal skills they need to progress in life. Through our cohesive approach of combining long term mentoring, skills training, and outdoor activities, and by working with over 400 volunteers, we supported low- income families, vulnerable young people, and low-skilled adults to: Build the confidence and skills they need to thrive Provide support and posltlve chlldhoods for their families to flourlsh Work wlth nature to nurture their wellbeing and engagement with thelr community We know our work is effective and creates social return because the people we work with: Tell us they feel more self-confident. positive, respected, and valued Gain awards and qualification5 or improve their ski115 in other ways Engage in volunteering and community artivities and contribute to society Look for. and find work. or progress into further learning l appreciated the time and space to explore issues and be heard.

Skills to Thrive

These include 'soft' skills such as building confidence. trust. or communication skills. and more tangible skills such as numeracy or environmental skills. to job search and interview skills. Where possible. beneficiaries are encouraged to gain qualifications that will help them progress further. Steps2Work Woking Youth Hub 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 andlor further education. All our employment support targets people described a5 'furthest from the labour markeY- those who are socially isolated, have been or are at risk of long-term unemployment, have mental health issues or who have learning difficulties. Steps2Work Youth is a project 5UPPOrted by Woking Borough Council and the Department for Work and Pensions. It is designed to engage with young people aged 16-24yrs, and Care Leaver5. and support them to secure positive employment andlor educational outcomes. The success of the project. along with funding from the Henry Smith Charity. enabled us to expand the work to other targeted groups such as people with additional needs andlor Autism Spectrum Condition. Over the year. 186 young people and 7 families were supported by the team resulting in 72 job offers, and 23 work trials. With further support from Woking Borough Council the team were also able to support the Council's resettlement programme for displaced persons helping 19 adults, 4 young people, and l O families to secure 26 job offers and 12 work trials. Specific activities included: working with national employers such as Timpson Retailers and Philips, offering mock interviews and half day work experience. and organising IT repair workshops to teach young people how to take apart laptops and replace hard- drives; laptops were then given to those who attended.

Over 600h of S2WW clients have anxiety and depression STEPS2Work Wellbeing Steps2Work Wellbeing has grown from the successes of our Woking Youth Hub, and exemplifies the need for responsive and flexible services that can support people with multiple complex needs. Thanks to funding from Surrey County Council's Mental Health Investment Fund, we were able to establish mentoring type support and outdoor activities for people struggling with their mental health and employment needs in the boroughs of Woking. Reigate & Banstead, and Spelthorne. In the five months of the programme. starting in April 2024, the team supported 59 people, many of whom struggled with specific mental health issues such as anxiety andlor depression, addictions, and PTSD; approximately 25% of clients identified themselves as neurodivergent.
Multiply Working with partners such as the Hale Family Centre as well as Surrey Care Trusys own sites, we hosted a series of the free Multiply courses and activities designed to help people improve their maths skills. Participants undertook a range of interesting and engaging courses with key maths skills activities embedded in each actlvity. The activities focussed on specific life skills topics such as crafts, landscaping, or cooking, or fun family activities designed to reduce the fear of maths in children and help parents support their children with maths challenges and homework. Over the year, the team supported 95 adults. 45 children and young people. and a further 10 famllies to engage in the courses, taking the fear out of mathsl I loved doing the raised beds. I had to measure and work out volume which I had not done before. It didn'tfeel like doing Maths like I did at school. SKILLS FOR LIFE MULTIPLY
STEPS to 16 Our STEPS to16 alternative education programme specialises in supportins and re- engaging 14 to 16 year-olds stru88ling 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 in 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 while 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 students develop strong life skills as they transition into adulthood. During 2023-2024, 27 students were supported by the team, the most the team have ever supported, indicative of the increasing demand for services like STEPS to 16. Out of the twelve year 11 students who took their exams all successfully secured accredited qualifications.
95% of STEPS to 16 leavers have gone on tofurther education or into employment

Building Belonging Starting in September 2023. the Trust supported 24 young people and 9 familie5 Wlth mentoring through the BLJilding Belonging programme. Targeted to families living in Elmbridge, the aim of the programme is to reduce the likelihood of young people being drawn into offending or anti-social behaviour. The young people have multiple and complex life experiences,. 60% of children have experienced three or more traumatic experiences such as household mental illness. household crime. emotional neglect. parental separation or domestic abuse. For these young people, and their families, engaging with professional support has always been challengin expecting to receive criticism and negativity. The team of experienced staff reach out to families and support them when needed. The result is that the young people have engaged in positive activities in the community, showed improved school attendance, and had the opportunity to build trusting relationships with professionals. Wellbeing Mentors Surrey Care Trust continues to be part of the Surrey Wellbeing Partnership- an alliance of voluntary sector organisations working to improve the emotiorlal wellbeing and mental health of children and young people. Over the year, our expert mentoring team worked with specially trained volunteers- Wellbeing Mentors- to support 92 young people. aged 11-18, living with problems such as OCD, self-harm and eating disorders. This is over a 5% increase from the previous year. In addition to the one-to-one mentoring, wellbeing group work and actlvlty days were also offered to improve the young people's confidence, emotional development, and build peer networks. These days took place at our Gateway Community Allotment or on our Swingbridge Community Boat Tranquility. other activities were also arranged such as paddleboarding and horse riding.
Free Counselling In addition to our Wellbeing Mentors, we offer a free and independent Counselling service for 16 to 25 year-olds who are unable to access support elsewhere. This service is supported with funding from BBC Children in Need. 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 their clients to feel valued. less helpless and more positive and to live life more fully. Over the 12 weeks they recelve 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. 49 young people experiencing anxiety and depression were helped by this service. l appreciated the time and space to explore issues and be heard,. Ifelt accepted.

FLOURISHING FAMILIES Our Flourishing Families programmes help parents to provide supportive environments and positive childhood experiences. Our services include providing long term. structured support. parenting skills training. and safe spaces to enjoy relationship building, family time and activitie5. 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, supported children, young people, and their parents, struggling to cope with life's challenges and in need of resilience support. Most families who came to us were struggling with mental health issues, children's behaviour, relationship difficulties or challenges because of neurodivergent conditions. Working with a wide range of families with multiple needs, our trained volunteer mentor5 delivered a package of our one-to-one mentoring, Home-starvs home visiting. group work/parenting support. and signposting to further help. The success of the programme was proven time and time again over the near five year period of its operation, with 99% of parents and young people reporting improvements in their resilience. well-being. confidence. andlor self-e5teem. In the final eight months of the program. from August 2023-March 2024. when the SCC'S new style family support came into effect. the Family Mentoring teams provided 175 families with one to one mentoring support and a further 177 families were supported through signposting parenting or other types of help. This is a lower number than previous years reflecting the impact of the cessation of taking on new referrals land passing to the newly appointed providers) so we could continue supporting established clients until the end of the contratt.
20 Youth & Family Mentoring The success of the Early Help mentoring reinforced our commitment to providing meaningful support to vulnerable families, despite changes to funding. With support from Waverley Borough Council and the Ingram Trust, we have been able to continue this support in the boroughs of Waverley and Woking, and have launched a new fundraising campaign to establish the programme in other areas of significant need. Such support can be transformational,. not only in empowering parents but helping young people to work through and resolve or manage their problems. The result 15 that young people are able to make positive choices, and improve their educational outcomes, employment prospects, relationships, and their emotional wellbeing. In the four months between April 2024 and July 2024. the Youth & Family Mentoring teams supported 34 young people living with a wide range of needs such as poor mental health. family breakdown. learning difficultie5. and relationship issues. Spelthorne Family Centres Introduced from April 2024, Surrey County Council's new family resilience support model, Families First, focuses on family centres as support hubs to provide activities for vulnerable families and as bases for outreach work. Although this change ended our Early Help mentoring in many areas, we were delighted to be appointed as the Families First provider in the borough of Spelthorne. Thi5 Opportunity allows us to unite the support delivered through the Clarendon Family Centre with that of the Stanwell Family Centre and build on the successes we have achieved with local families and the community over the past two decades.

38 Financial Review Total Income for the year to 31 July 2024 increased by 5.696 to £1.977,550 compared to £1,872,109 in 22123. There has been significant growth in our Skills to Thrive income and activity whilst the end of funding for Early Help mentoring in March 2024 led to a decrease in our Flourishing Families Income. Expenditure remaineLI steady overall at £1,797,264 compared with £1,760,943 in 22123. The Trust produced a surplus of 9%1£180,2861 in 23124 compared with 6% (£111,166) in 22123. Reserves The Board has 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 Trusvs 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: 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 Covering the risks of unforeseen emergency or other unexpected need for funds, e.g., an unexpected large repair bill or covering long-term sickness Unexpected calls for funding to develop new opportunities or begin new projects which may require up front expenditure or match funding Short term deficits in cash flow At the close of this year our unrestricted reserves were £829,492 compared to £649,206 in 22123. £85,000 of this has been designated in the accounts for future spending on Families First and mentoring work. Full details of the results for the year are given in the audited financial statements included in this report.
39 Risk Management We maintain and 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 who have oversight of the key risks and new risks at Board meetings, and all risks annually. The quantified assessment of risk, the risk management policy. and action plans are agreed at regular meetings throughout the year. The Risk assessment and management process, aligned with recommended practice of The Charity Commission, ensures that.. The identification, assessment and management of risk is linked to the achievement of the charitys operational objectives The process cover5 all areas of risk but is focused primarily on major risks The risk exposure profile reflects the Trustees, views as to the levels of acceptable risk Risk management is ongoing and embedded in management and operational procedures The most significant risks identified during the year included.. Further significant overall reduction in Public Sector funding, notably the loss of the Early Help contract Failure to secure sufficient new funding opportunities to maintain, at a minimum, current turnover Significant shortfall on voluntary fundraising target Serious Health & Safety or Safeguarding failure The loss of staff to deliver programme outcome5
40 The Future As predicted, the past financial year has been one of significant change and transition for Surrey Care Trust. We knew March 2024 would see the end of our successful Early Help contract with Surrey County Council and a reduction of our Youth & Family Mentoring across the county. In preparation, using what we had learnt through our research about the needs of our beneficiaries and what were the most successful strategies employed in our programmes, we instigated regular business development planning and review to secure continuing financial viability. We also reviewed the structure of our programme teams and where we could have greatest impact with limited resources. The result was a successful bid to deliver Surrey County Council's new place based family resilience model - Families First - in Spelthorne,- securing of multi year funding to establish support for people struggling with poor mental health and employment {based on the Steps2Work model),. and a commitment to continue delivering our Youth & Family mentoring (based on the Early Help model); in areas where we can have greatest impact. With this funding, and by streamlining our workforce, we are now in a strong position to support people in numerous areas across Surrey.

Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUK)11SAs IUK}) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors 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 U K including the FRCS 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 thaL 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. 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.
45 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 strategic report Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 22 the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl 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 companys 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.
46 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 auditorfs 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 IUKI 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. We assessed the susceptibility of the companls financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud., Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.. and Testing controls with walk through procedures and substantive transaction testing,. To address the risk of fraud through managemen( bias and override of controls, we: Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships,. Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions., Assessed whetherjudgements and assumptions made in determining any accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias- Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions 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 entitys controls. and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detett than irregularities that result from error. A5 explained above, there is an uriavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected. even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAS IUKI. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: // report. This description forms part of our auditorfs
