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

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

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

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.

consistent with the legal objects set out in its constitution.

To address the risk of fratjd through management bias and override of controls. we performed analytical procedures to Identify anv

reading the Minutes of meetings of those charged with governance- and
enquirin8 of management as to actual and potential Ircigatioft and claims:
There are inherent limitations In our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial
transactions. the less likely it is that we would become awa￿ of non<ompliance. ALAditing standards also limlt the audit procedures
required to identify nOn￿OmplI3nce with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of
regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arlse due to fraud can be harder to detert than those that arise from efror as they may involve deliberate
