Steps2Work at Woking Youth Hub Steps2Work at Woking Youth Hub provides tailored support to help young adults aged 16-24 move into sustainable employment or education. Referrals are required and come directly from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWPI.

This proactive approach ensures young people gain the functional skills and confidence they need for long-term success. This year, the programme also celebrated its 5th anniversary, having supported over 600 young people in Woking Since its launch. These achievements have been made possible thanks to the continued support of Woking Borough Council, the Department for Work and Pensions, and the Henry Smith Charity.
Steps2Work Wellbeing Steps2Work Wellbeing has evolved from the strong foundation and successes of the original Steps2Work at Woking Youth Hub programme. While the original focus was primarily on supporting young people toward employment, the Wellbeing programme now offers its responsive and flexible services to a wider age group across the community. Crucially, the focus of Steps2Work Wellbeing 15 les5 on the immediate goal of finding work and more on helping people with mental health needs achieve holistic stability. The programme's primary aim is to get individuals engaged in their communities, focusing on improving wellbeing, building confidence, and developing social connections. This community-focused engagement acts as a vital. foundational step that can, in time. lead to further progress like training or employment. Thanks to funding from Surrey County Council's Mental Health Improvement Fund, the programme was designed to support people facing mental health and wellbeing challenges. Through 1.1 mentoring support, we help participants to improve their wellbeing, take up volunteering opportunities, reduce social isolation through group activities, and move closer to employment. Our achievements: Over the past year, the team worked with 115 adults and 45 young people. supported by the recruitment of 20 new volunteers. Many of those we work with experience significant barriers including anxiety, depression, addictions, PTSD, or identify as neurodivergent.

From them, 70+ expert volunteers deliver a wide range of river-based activities, providing crucial opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to learn new skills, gain qualifications, and significantly improve their wellbeing, confidence. and community integration. Our achlevements: From August 2024 to July 2025. over 1.500 people beneflted from the wellbeing cruises. confidence boosting courses. and envlronmental activltles. Swingbridge Tranquility provided hundreds of hours of accessible, therapeutic cruises and activities on the River Wey.

Over the year, the crews welcomed people living in homeless hostels, children with specific needs, older people with limited mobility, our own STEPS to 16 students, and young people and parents supported by our Wellbeing and Family mentors. Tranquility also continued its partnership with the NHS Early Psychosis Group. hosting joint sessions that integrate river-based environmental conservation with practical skill- building, including highly popular ' Culinary Cruises" utilising the boars galley for shared cooking experiences.

Endeavours crews continued to lead significant environmental improvements, removing large amounts of invasive species, including Himalayan Balsam and RagworL alongside clearing fallen trees from tow paths. Ditch clearance, coppicing, and tree clearance activities resulted in improved and well-maintained habitats, which are now enjoyed by both local residents and wildlife.

QUALITY AND ASSURANCE Fundraising The 2024-2025 year was another busy and rewarding period for the Trusts fundraising. We continued to develop and deliver key programmes, including Steps2Work Wellbeing and Outside & Active, while also updating our logo and brand to better reflect the Trus¥s mission and values. Thanks to the generosity of charitable trusts, companies, community groups, philanthropic individuals, and our proactive approach to new funding opportunities, the Trust raised £475.000 to support delivery of its core aims. The slight reduction from the previous year was due in part to recruitment and staffing challenges. Supporter-led events also made a significant impact. We celebrated our most successful London Marathon fundraising to date and marked a milestone with the launch of the Maggie G as part of the Swingbridge fleec enhancing our community and educational work on the waterways. We remain deeply grateful to our Trustees, Patrons, volunteers, and community members, whose dedication and contributions make it possible for the Trust to nurture, flourish, and thrive, helping children, young people, and families across Surrey to succeed. 30

Financial Review Total income for the year to 31 July 2025 increased by 10% to £2.184,919 compared to £1,977,550 in 23124. Expenditure also rose by 10% to £1,982,023 compared with £1,797,264 in 23124. The Trust produced a surplus of 9.2961£202,8961 similar to 231241£180,2861. 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. 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 e.g.to develop new opportunities or begin new projects which may require up front expenditure or match funding. d) Short term deficits in cash flow. e) Local Government reorganisation and changes in unitary councils. The Board considers an unrestricted reserve of £650,000 to £700,000 is sufficient to mitigate against these risks. Accordingly, £342,000 has been specifically designated to further our strategic ai ms and activities. At the close of this year our total reserves were £1.032,388. After accounting for revaluation reserves and designated funds our unrestricted general fund is £660,388. Full details of the results for the year are given in the audited financial statements included in this report. 34
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, rhe risk management policy, and artion 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 covers 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 alongside increased costs Failure to secure sufficient new funding opportunities to maintain, at a minimum, current turnover Significant shortfall on voluntary fundraising target Serious Health and Safety or Safeguarding failure The loss of staff to deliver programme outcomes 35
The Future As we look ahead, Surrey Care Trust stands at a pivotal moment in its journey. The past year has been one of renewal and reflection - strengthening our foundations, expanding our reach. and deepening our understanding of the communities we serve. We are also proud to be in a strong financial position that allows us to remain steadfast in our mission: to break the cycle of disadvantage in Surrey and ensure that every person has the opportunity, skills, and confidence to achieve their potential. However, the challenges we face are ever evolving. Economic pressures, rising mental health needs, and the increasing complexity of family life mean our support must remain flexible, joined-up, and rooted in lived experience. In response, we have developed plans to invest strategically to grow key parts of our services, particularly our alternative provision and mentoring programmes, and we will focus on five strategic priorities to ensure we can meet emerging needs and deliver long- term value: Early and Preventative Support.. We will continue to extend our family resilience and mentoring services, ensuring help reaches people before they reach crisis point. Skills for Life and Work: We will strengthen learning, employability. and wellbeing pathways that create real, lasting change. Nature. Health. and Communlty: Building on the success of our STEPS to 16 programme and leveraging the Gateway Garden as a central hub, we will expand our alternative learning provision across our Nurture through Nature sites to create inclusive, outdoor learning environments that promote wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth for children, young people, and families. People and Partnerships.. We will continue investing in our volunteers and staff, and forging strong collaborations with local partners, businesses, and communities. Sustainability and Growth.. We will invest to secure the financial resilience and innovation needed to deliver impact for decades to come. The resilience. compassion. and dedication shown by our volunteers, staff, and trustees continue to inspire us, and we are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us by our supporters and partners. Together, we enter this next chapter with optimism and purpose and we will ensure Surrey Care Trust remains a catalyst for hope, opportunity, and lasting social change - helping people not just to cope, but to thrive.

THE SURREY CARE TRUST
STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Surrey Care Trust for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE SURREY CARE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SURREY CARE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Surrey Care Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 charity 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 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 charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

THE SURREY CARE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SURREY CARE TRUST
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity’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
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
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 companys 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 management bias and override of controls, we:
-
Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
Assessed whether judgements 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 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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

THE SURREY CARE TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Surrey Care Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Astolat FF12, Coniers Way, Guildford, GU4 7HL.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Computers | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 5 years |
| Other equipment | Impairment review |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
1.12 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.13 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
