REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2015).

Mission Statement

The Charity's mission is to promote the relief of older people in any manner in order to assist older people to increase their independence, knowledge, income, wellbeing and sense of purpose.

We will do this by:

Our values are:

Activities - What we did and how we work

Age Concern Hampshire is an independent charity working across Hampshire to support older people (aged 50+) to live well independently for longer. We believe getting older should be a positive experience where everybody is respected, valued, socially included and able to make informed choices. In the last year, we have continued to overcome the challenges of Covid-19, merging our services where necessary as numbers remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Care and Wellbeing Centres

Our Care and Wellbeing Centres provide much needed support to those over 50 living with frailty, dementia and/or other conditions, making access to social activities and community events challenging.

The Centres also provide much needed support and respite to unpaid carers to ensure the wellbeing and mental health of loved ones to help prevent crisis.

We re-opened cautiously following the pandemic, however it was clear that public confidence, especially around our client demographic was low; this inevitably had an adverse effect on our client numbers which are slowly increasing.

The professional relationships with key external stakeholders primarily through digital means and telephone contact continues and the client numbers are increasing.

Our staff are trained in all relevant areas required, and more importantly dementia awareness, safeguarding, infection control and are supported to work with the specific needs of our clients’ physical and wellbeing needs. We continue to support and encourage clients to do whatever exercises they can and have recently introduced Seated Yoga in partnership with Hampshire County Councils – Participation and The Lifelong Learning Campaign; this is being launched across all Centres. We also encourage our clients to engage in their current and past interests and hobbies as well as introducing new activities. Our centers offer nutritional meals, and we encourage a healthy dining experience and encouraging healthy fluid intakes.

With four centres now re-opened, we continue to work hard in raising the profile of Age Concern Hampshire, and attract new private clients to support our plan to be less reliant on the local authority referrals.

Dementia continues to be an increasingly important contributing factor to the need for our services in both supporting those on the dementia journey who live alone or to provide crucial respite to carers. As in previous years, this necessitates the right environment, skills and staffing levels and maintaining those skills and the necessary staffing ratios are crucial but continues to be a challenge in the context of how services are funded.

Information Service & Community Information Volunteers

Age Concern Hampshire offers independent, impartial and confidential support to people over 50, their friends, family and carers, and to professionals working with older people. The services are highly praised for the dedication of its volunteers. During the year, ACH received over 4000 enquiries to our Information Service and spent more than 2600 hours providing much needed support to older people throughout Hampshire.

Our team of volunteers work in rural and semi-rural communities across the county, signposting people to information on issues such as benefits, care, befriending, transport and finding help around the home. They also provide tailored support to people to enable them to connect successfully to the services they need as well as form filling support. During the year, Community Information Volunteers (CIVs) helped to secure £120,695 in financial support from benefits such as Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payments, Housing Benefits, Carers Allowance, Council Tax Support and Pension Credits.

Basingstoke Wellbeing and Information Services

Age Concern Hampshire now have four social groups operating across Basingstoke (Popley, Winklebury, South Ham and Kingsclere) as well as IT sessions and Yoga classes. Our social groups continue to support beneficiaries in the Basingstoke area with applications and information at the weekly social groups as well as offer a chance to socialise and join in with activities. The team of 13 volunteers across the groups offer an average of 108 hours per month to facilitate social and information groups and the IT sessions.

Foot Care Services

Age Concern Hampshire's Foot Care Service provides a regular toenail cut and general foot health check in clinic locations across the county – helping over-50s to stay active, safe and remain mobile. In the year 2022/23 the service provided 4477 appointments.

Facilitating Discharge from Community Hospitals (Hospital to Home)

Age Concern Hampshire continues to work in partnership with Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust to improve health & wellbeing for patients whilst staying in hospital. Our Hospital to Home service continued to operate during 2022-23 at Petersfield, Gosport and Alton Community Hospitals and also offered support to an Older People’s Mental Health (OPMH) ward at the Western Community Hospital in Southampton. The impact of the coordinators to improve patient experience and support their journey through rehabilitation and discharge home to reduce length of stays has been significant. Southern Health are keen to develop the service to other community hospitals in the future.

Help at Home

The Help at Home Service, supports clients in the Basingstoke, Andover, Havant, Locks Heath and Hedge End areas. Although numbers are small, feedback from clients has indicated that this is an extremely valuable service to them. During the year client numbers were 35 clients in Basingstoke, 4 in Andover, 19 in Locks Heath and 18 in Havant. The service has a total of 24 self-employed Home Helpers.

Care at Home

The CQC Registration for our regulated activity of Personal Care remains dormant. This will enable us to consider our offering in the future to offer support in people’s homes, or potentially a respite overnight service to our current client base.

Legacies

Age Concern Hampshire received no legacies during the year (2022: £18,937).

Age Concern Hampshire also acknowledges the energy and commitment with which staff and volunteers across the organisation have raised funds for local projects.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act and guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Our Volunteers and Gifts in Kind

In 2022-23, volunteers played vital roles within Age Concern Hampshire, with 70 volunteers across six services: Care and Wellbeing Centres; Footcare; Hospital to Home; Basingstoke Wellbeing; Information Hub; and Community Information Volunteers. We welcomed new volunteers during the year, who joined to help across all services.

Similarly, Age Concern Hampshire have been successful in cultivating support from local corporate teams via ‘giving back days’. This support has helped us to renovate the Frogmore Care and Wellbeing Centre in readiness to reopen as well as redecorating areas of our flagship centre in Locks Heath. During this period ACH were also donated Vodafone SIM cards in order to provide connectivity for our teams as well as vulnerable older people across the County.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

At 31 March 2023, total funds carried forward came to £1,100,752 (2022: £1,280,397) which included restricted funds of £494,711 (2022: £394,976).

A deficit of £179,645 was achieved for the year (2022: £206,774 surplus). The operations of the Charity continued to be impacted by the effects of the global pandemic, as services were delivered on a reduced scale when compared to pre-pandemic numbers. It would not be meaningful to compare the financial performance of the prior year to the current year as it is not comparable. The Charity has continued to look all aspects of the organisation (e.g the management structure) to suit the changing needs of the business.

The trustees are responsible for the identification and management of risk. A Risk Register identifying the risk, the likelihood of an event occurring and its possible impact on the charity is maintained and regularly reviewed. The trustees take appropriate action to monitor, manage and mitigate risks. The most significant risk the charity is facing remains reduced client numbers following the global pandemic, and in particular the need to move away from reliance on clients who are funded by Hampshire County Council. Only four Care and Wellbeing Centres are open as of March 2023, compared to eleven centres before the pandemic. It is expected that the Charity will make a loss for the year ending 31 March 2024, although the deficit should be much lower than the 2022-23 year. The Charity has sufficient reserves to be able to support the activities throughout this transitional period to the point when the Charity expects to return to a surplus position.

The trustees and senior management team continue to identify alternative revenue streams to mitigate this funding uncertainty .

Investment policy and objectives

The Charity's current investment policy is for cash not immediately required for working capital purposes to be placed on deposit to yield as much interest as possible. The Charity will continue to look to maximise the returns on its cash.

Reserves policy

During the prior year the Charity's reserves policy was reviewed by the trustees and the trustees identified the operation of day services at its Care and Wellbeing Centres as core business together with the operation of Foot Care, Community Information Volunteers, Hospital to Home, Help at Home and its Information Services. The trustees look to have £400,000 of free reserves to enable the Charity to meet its charitable objectives.

Restricted funds at 31 March 2023 stood at £494,711 of which £212,193 was represented by freehold property and £145,249 was represented by other tangible fixed assets rather than cash. The trustees have no discretion over restricted funds so they do not form part of the reserves policy.

Page | 5

Age Concern Hampshire

The amount therefore regarded as free reserves at 31 March 2023 was £558,681. This is the unrestricted funds, less unrestricted tangible fixed assets, less provisions at year end.

FUTURE PLANS

Despite the difficulties faced by the sector, increasing people costs and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis, the charity maintained a better-than-expected financial position.

Moving forward, the slow recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic will continue to have an impact, especially around the sector’s availability and access to grant funding. We will therefore continue to review and adapt our service offering, focusing on core services that have the most positive impact in meeting the needs of older people across Hampshire.

We will continue working in partnership with Hampshire County Council and plan services for older people for the future, whilst accepting that Local Authority funding opportunities are somewhat uncertain and the charity must constantly strive to ensure those who need it the most have access to our services.

It had been our intention, following successful CQC registration, to launch a CQC registered Home Care Service during this period. Unfortunately, due to the challenges encountered with recruitment of suitably qualified staff (an issue faced across the social care sector), its launch is still on hold and it is unlikely that this service will be launched imminently.

We continue to strengthen our partnership with Southern Health Foundation Trust on the Hospital to Home service. The service continues to deliver positive outcomes for older people whilst in-patients and onwards, when they are discharged to other settings.

We will also continue to deliver our free Information Service which supports older people across the county with signposting, information and a free form-filling service for those older people who are digitally excluded.

The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank our senior management team, staff and volunteers for the tremendous work they have undertaken during this year when even now the post Covid-19 challenges are still evident and all involved have continued to go above and beyond to support many extremely vulnerable older people in Hampshire.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Recruitment and Changes to Trustees

Two new directors joined the board of Age Concern Hampshire Corporate Trustee during the 2022-23 year. One director stepped down during the 2022-23 year and two additional directors stepped down post year-end.

Organisational Structure

The Finance Sub Committee meet prior to Board meetings with the CEO and Head of Commercial in attendance. This committee in particular, monitors cash flow closely. The Marketing and Fundraising Sub Committee meets with the CEO and the Head of Fundraising and Marketing in attendance.

TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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 charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 trustees accept we have not been able to provide an actuary statement for the three pensioners who are in the Hampshire County Council pension scheme. This decision was taken as the pension scheme is in surplus and the cost of the report could not be warrented?? (DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD EXPAND ON THIS – Yes ?) Possibly add as per the above??

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Age Concern Hampshire for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Age Concern Hampshire (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:

Basis for qualified opinion

The charity has not been able to obtain an actuarial report for the multi-employer local government defined benefit pension scheme, and therefore is not presented in these accounts and the scheme is treated as a defined contribution scheme. A full report is available as at 31 March 2022 showing an overall scheme surplus of £637.4m. However, there is no report available confirming the charity’s share as at 31 March 2023. As a result, the accounts do not show the true and fair position of the Pension Scheme position at the year end.

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 Auditors' 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 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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

Page | 9

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Age Concern Hampshire for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

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 where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

From discussion with management and those charged with governance information about the entity is documented to assess the activity within the organisation. We discuss managements assessment of risk in respect of irregularities, fraud and going concern.

Based on these discussions and our own assessments we determined that the key risk areas were income recognition in respect of cut off issues and management override concerning the size of the organisation.

We set financial statement materiality level based on the level of income. As a not for profit organisation raising income is its primary focus which is why income was used to determine the level of materiality. Our overall assessment of risk was used to determine performance materiality at an appropriate level.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

No significant judgements are made in the application of the charity's accounting policies.

The most significant area of estimation uncertainty is surrounding the valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme. The scheme was in surplus at 31 March 2022. No provision has been made in the financial statements in respect of this pension scheme.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Grant income may be deferred if the grant provider has specified that the grant can only be spent in a future period or if there are performance criteria attached to the grant that the charity has not yet fulfilled in order for entitlement to the income.

Debtors are measured and recognised at transaction price.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Liabilities due within one year are measured and recognised at transaction price.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Accounts are maintained for all activities with costs being included when incurred. In addition, central staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities according to time spent.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% over the useful life of the asset. Motor vehicles - 12.5% over the useful life of the asset. Software - 33.3% over the cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is added to the item of expense to which it relates and included in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The Charity participates in one defined contribution scheme. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the Charity in independently administered funds. The pension costs charge represents contributions payable by the Charity to the funds.

The Charity also participates in two defined benefit schemes. Both schemes are multi-employer schemes as follows;

a. Hampshire County Council Local Government Pension Scheme - the charity has not received an actuarial report identifying its share of the underlying asset and liabilities. The scheme is therefore accounted for as if they were defined contribution schemes.

b. Age UK Defined Benefit Scheme - the charity has obtained an actuarial report to disclose their proportion of the Age UK pension according to FRS 102. See note 24 to the accounts.

Financial instruments

The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable. The measurement basis used for these instruments is detailed below.

Debtors and cash at bank

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand included cash held on deposit or in a current account.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

21. DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION SCHEMES

Age Concern Hampshire participates in Age UK Retirement Benefits Scheme which is a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme.

The level of benefits provided by the Scheme depends on a member's length of service and their salary at their date of leaving the scheme. This section of the Scheme closed to future accrual on 30 November 2008.

A full actuarial valuation of the Scheme as at 31 March 2022 is in progress and the initial results of this valuation have been updated to 31 March 2023 by a qualified independent actuary. The expected Employer contributions for the year ending 31 March 2024 are £12k. These contributions include an allowance for administration expenses and PPF levies.

The initial results of the latest funding valuation at 31 March 2022 have been adjusted to the balance sheet date taking account of experience over the period since 31 March 2022, changes in market conditions and differences in the financial and demographic assumptions. The present value of the defined benefit obligation was measured using the Projected Unit Method.

The principal assumptions used to calculate the liabilities under FRS 102 are set out below;

Main financial assumptions

RPI Inflation 3.25 3.60
