The board of Trustees are satisfied with thE performance of the Charity during the year and st the position at 31 January 2025. They consider the Charity is in a satisfactory situation to continue its activities throughout the forthcoming year, and that the Charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. Orchard Vale Social Enter rises CIC The Charity has a subsidiary company, Orchard Vale Social Enterprises CIC, which is community interest company owned entirely by Orchard Vale Trust. Ob'ectives and Activities of the Chari th The Charity is a non-profit making company incorporated on 11 September 1985, limited by guarantee and having no capital share. It was registered as a charity in September 1985. The purpose of the charity is to provide care to those people with a learning disability who need a level of support which might not otherwise be available to them in the family home and to further assist them to pursue a more independent lifestyle. The majority of this care is provided in residential homes. in addition the Trust has a Community and Day service which is accessed by adults with learning disabilities who are not residents. Since 1985, the Charity has opened 4 residential homes in the Somerset area. This development has been a gradual response to the demand for places, the changing needs of its residents, and the resources available to the Charity to purchase property suitable to its purpose. The Charity currentSy provides accommodation and support for 32 people. In addition, the Trust continues to develop a programme of activities and support to other individuals that do not live in the Trust's accommodation that reside in its local area. When places become available these are open to anyone with a learning disability whose care needs can be met by the service. All the Trust's current residents are in receipt of financial sUPPOrt from their Local Authority in order to meet the fees charged by the Charity. The level of residential fees is negotiated with the Local authority using their costing model, thereby ensuring that the fee charged is appropriate to the needs of the individual and is value for money. Currently our service is provided to residents from 16 different Local Authorities throughout England and Wales. Day serrfice users are funded in
ORCHARD VALE TRVST UMITED COMPANY NUMBER.. 1946592 REPORT AND FINANCIALSTATEME14TS FOR THE YEAR ENDED315fJANUARY 2025 different ways including from their own individual resources and from Local Authority Direct Payment schemes. Skilled staff teams are employed at each home to assist and enable residents to live a fulfilled life. All residents have their own personal care plan which aims to maximise their physical, intellectual and social potential. Educational, work and leisure opportunities are provided in the local community. The homes are subject to regular inspections by the regulator for care homes, the Care Quality Commission and the local authority where the home is situated. Historically, people with a learning disability were viewed by society as a minority group who had little or no rights to full citizenship. They were though incapable of achieving any measure of self-dependency as even the most personal of tasks were done for them by thelr carers, usually within a large institutional setting. Since 1985 Orchard Vale Trust has striven to extend the rights of people with learning disabilities through practical involvement within local community Settings. The focus of our work for greater social integration has been achieved through the setting up of residential homes in local communities and establishing a Community and Day Service. Daily contact between members of the local community and the residents gradually breaks down societvs stereotyped images of how a person with a learning disability might behave. We believe people with learning disabilities are f ull and participative members of our society with the same rights as all of us. During 2024 the Trust has continued to focus on delivering its services both residential care and in the community. The Trust has given particular attention to developing the communication and IT infrastructure which underpins staff s ability to deliver person centred care and the way in which individuals that we 5UPPOrt are able to acce5S SUPPOrt services, contact with friends and family and recreational activities. There has also been a significant focus on developing the existing residential homes to meet the changing needs of some individuals as they age. Alongside this the Trust has continued to develop and widen the activities which are being offered in the residential and community settings. The Trustees held an additional meeting on 2nd November 2024 in which they considered the way in which to respond to the changing needs of individuals, this is particularly pertinent to the cohort of adults that Orchard Vale Trust supports some adults with learning disabilities can age prematurely in comparison to the general adult population. The Trust keeps its overall staffing levels under continuous review. In 2024 staffing levels across the Trust have improved. The Trust continues to make use of dedicated, regular agency staff to ensure that individuals are being supported by staff who have a good understanding of their individual needs and the processes within each service. However, the use of agency staff started to reduce in 2024 due to increased recruitment levels. In 2024 the Trust continued with its programme of maintaining and upgrading its physical facilities. A new kitchen was installed at St Chads, one of the residential care homes. The focus of the design was to maximise the accessibility of the kitchen so that the individuals who live at St Chads continue to be actively involved in food preparation. New paths were installed in the garden at East Court, providing better access for those who have impaired mobility. A large ground floor room at East Court was developed into a room that could support individuals who need a bespoke environment. The ground floor location allows the
ORCHARD VALE TRUST UMITED COMPANY NUMBER.. 1946592 REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR TrIE YEAR ENDED315fJANUARY 2025 room to be accessible and a new wet room has been installed. The room provides a resource for the entire Trust and could be used for an individual who has been discharged from hospital or is unable to use the stairs. as well as a more long-term change in need. In 2024 the Trust invested significantly in the improvement of the connectivity of the organization. Every site had new Wi-Fi installed. A new electronic care package, Nourish, was also introduced and this marked a movement away from paper records to a fully digital system. The Trust continues to successfully provide the Care Certificate, and all new staff are required to undertake this as mandatory training. Specialist training is given in a number of areas including, but not limited to, the administration of medication, infection control, COSHH, Specialist epilepsy training, dysphagia, lone working and speech and language. All four homes are regularly inspetted by CQC, and it is possible to access the individual reports via our website. In 2024 all 4 residential care homes continue to be rated Good. Community and Day Services continue to offer to offer a wide range of activities Stile Gardening continues to offer gardening services in the local community. Throughout 2025 the garden at East Court has continued to produce a wide range of produce which is used to supply all of the residential care homes in the Trust and makes a weekly delivery to the Wells Foodbank, so providing a source of fresh produce which would otherwise be unavailable. In 2024 there has been a trial growing cut flowers with some of the residents of East Court and individuals who attend the Hive. The initial pilot has been successful and this is going to be extended in 2025 with a view to making bouquets which can be supplied locally. The Hive also gained funding from Wells Art Project to be involved in a local arts project at Wells Cathedral where they built an installation that was part of a wider community display. The installation was positively received. There is a rigorous Quality Assurance programme within the Trust which is regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive. The Trust maintains its vehicle fteet, ensuring that there are a range of vehicles which meet the changing needs of service users. During the financial accounting period there have been no changes to the resident population and the Trust remains at full occupancy. The Trust does not hold a waiting list. Trustees have met regularly during the year and have overseen the work of the Trust, ensuring its financial viability. Public Benefit The Trustees give due regard to the public benefit guidance set out by the Charity Commission and believe that the Charity meets its obligation in this respect because: Its purpose is the relief of those in need by reason of their disability: The benefit provided is to that section of the public who are people with learning disabilities. Those who use our service benefit because they receive high quality
ORCHARD VALE TRUSTUMITED COMPANY NUMBER.. 1946592 REPORT AND FINANCIALSTATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENt*D 315fJANUARY 2025 care and support which enable them to gain access to the facilities available to any citizen. When available residential places and day service places are open to all adults with a learning disability, providing their needs can be met within the service provided. The fees charged are reasonable and necessary for the Charity to fulfil it5 aims and are agreed with Local Authorities and other funders who are Purchasers of the service. The fees charged for residential care are directly related to the level of support provided to meet the needs of the individual service users and are not dependent upon their ability to pay. No financial contribution is required from residents other than the contributions which are set out in the rules relating to residential care provision or the state benefit rules; There is no third-party funding for the residential services provided,. Day care services are charged in a transparent rate depending on the service needed. The charge5 are aligned with the amount the local authority provides to local families to purchase such care and support. The Trustees will continue to review the attivities of the Charity to ensure that these are consistent with the legal objects set out in its constitution. Fund Raisin Activities and Revenue The Charity complies and is consistent with the Charity Commission's guidance on fundraising activities. Our approach to responsible fundraising is driven by these five key principles, also laid out in our Fundraising Promise: _ We are honest and open - We are clear and transparent- We are respectful and value our supporters - We work in partnership with those who support U5- ' We are accountable. The Charity raises funds in accordance with its Fundraising Policy, principles and associated procedures, and adhering to data protection policy and procedures which comply with relevant UK laws and regulations, including those related to privacy. The Charity respects supporterfs privacy and right to decide how and if Orchard Vale Trust contacts them. The Charity seeks to treat all people equally and fairly and have a clear procedure in place for how we engage with supporters who may be in vulnerable circumstances. By sharing honest and powerful stories, we engage and inspire supporters to support Orchard Vale Trust's mission to support adults with learning disabilities to live life to the full. Our primary concern is to respect the wishes, dignity and security of the people we support, therefore will only ever share stories for which we have had prior consent. Whilst basic care and accommodation costs are funded by Local Authority contratts, the Charity relies on donation and fund-raising projects to finance the provision of the extra quality of service for which the Charity is well known. The Trust Fundraiser has responsibility for the management of regular fund-raising projects such as the Gold Bond runners in the London Marathon; one sponsored Golf Day and the restricted funds income
