ect Lld. ort of the Trustees for the 18-Monlh Period Eiidcd 31 March 2025 Achievements and performance Expect r¢main5 committed to delivering high quality services desplte the ongoing challenges in the Adult Social Care sector. Our ethos is around empowering people to live the lives that they choose whilst ensuring that appropriate safeguards are always in place. We encourage people to access community-based activities and peer on peer support so that they are able to develop friendships with like-minded individuals. We are alinost at the ¢nd of the 2020 - 2025 Business plan and trustees will soon be approving the new three-year plan, During the course of the plan the Charity has continued to be a provider of choice by funders, in particular around working with p¢ople with coinplex necds. The Charity's Day Service, which runs from the Bowersdale Resource Centre provides a safe space in which service users can get involved in ineaiiingful activities that have a positive iinpacl on their lives, Inental heallh and well-being. The service is essentially a partnership between Expect and the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board ICB) and the work of the Centre continues to be support¢d via a grant from this Board, which is reviewed on an annual basis. During this period, this grant was successfully retained. In addition lo the grant Expect has received funds from various donors for specific projects, such as a gardening project, druin sessions and the setting up of a gym at the Centre, with service users educated around all aspects of health and well-being. The organisation remains cominitted to the ethos of the Real Living Wage. however, this has not been possible during the period and support staff are on one of two different pay scales,. the NMW and a liigher rale that takes into account relevant qualifications and workirtg for ihe charity for 24 months or more, All support staff are encouraged to achieve as a minimum the Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care during the first year of employment. Officers of Expect have conlinued to play an active role in the maintenance and developinent of broader cominunity-based services aiid ren]ain coinrnitted to offering assistance and support to the umbrella organisation Sefton Council for Voluntary Services, of whicli it is a formal member. Expert's CEO and Senior Managem¢nt Team ivork closely with the leaders of other similar organi5ations operaiing in the geograpliical area and Colleagues in Local Council Commissioning leams* particularly those in Cot)way, Denbighshire, Sefton, Knowsley and Liv¢rpool to drive up standards and maxiin ise knowledge through effective partnerships. Whilst th¢ recruitment of suitable staff who share the organisation's values remains a significant challenge, we have been successful in Inanaging lo reduce our agency costs and tlie aini is to reduce this even ￿rther in the coming years, Expect Lid. underwent a rebrand in August 2024 with new logos and einail addre5s¢s and we received very positive feedback around this projecl. The new bi'anding is professional and reinforces the ethos and values of the charity and its purpose.

eet Ltd. orl of the Trustees ror the 18-Month Perlod Lnded 31 Mareh 2025 Our workforce receive a full company Ènduction and a comprehensive ti'aining programine of skill and knowledge-based learning, which is delivered both face-to-face and digitally. In addition. the organisation accesses free training provided by tlie local authorities with whom we work and managers also deliver training that is aligned lo specific strengths that they have. The Expect Board of trusiees haiye Continued to meei regularly. In addition lo bi-monthly meetings trust¢es are kept updated on a regular basis around any serious issues, including safeguarding. Financial review The operational deficit for the group during the period was £3k (2023.. £441 k). The main reason for the deficit is a consequence of accounting for the amortisation of goodwill for the year of £18k (2023., £61 k) and bad debts of £3 Ik. Additionally, 11)ere has been the use of agency staff, capacity building and slrengihening the operational management learn. Expect have also sadly lost a number of service users throughout the year, Ivho either passed away or whose needs had changed, and funders Considered that other placements were more appropriate for them. As at 31 March 2025 total group funds of £1.8M (2023.. £1.8M) were held all in unrestricted funds available for the general purposes of the charity. OLir primary sources of funding are the fees received from Local Authority Social Services Departments or from Integrated Care Boards, depending iipon which body is responsible for financing the care needs of the individual client, Upon referral clients are assessed and a Care Plan agreed with the funders. LA)cal Authorities pay set rntes for services, and these are not open to negolialion, which is why one of the stsaiegic aims of the Charity is to diversify its income stream5 so that it is Able to provide support packages al rates that are set by Bxpect and agreed with the individual or other funder. Our financial slralegy remains focused on groi¥ing our income. we have already sel lh¢ foundalions for growth by exploring other income streams such as local fundraising, legacies and grants and ive are also looking to influence the sector and become involved in research around Adult Social Care. This ivill maximise the polenlial of th¢ Group to remain sustainable moving forward. Reserves Policy Given the well-do¢umented difficulties faced by Adult Social Care Providers il remains difficuli to maintain reserves. However, trustees give priority lo the organisation being able to maintain an appropriate level of reserves for the charity and hav¢ ¢oncluded th81 we should aim for the folloiying: The trustees wish 10 have 3 Inonihs running costs, based on the18513 }rears ger)erAI fund expenditure in case of a major problem or d¢la)'s in payments from our funders, The group's fo¢us ivill remain on organic growth, Inveslment Strategy and Performance The challenges that the sector is still facing folloiving the pandemic mean the Irusiees Ii&ve not yct been able to consider making inveslmenls, Hoivever, this remains a priority for Trustees lo explore in the upcoming financial years.

ort of the liide ¢ndent Auditors to the Members of ect Ltd. Opinio We have audited the financial Statements of Expect Limited (the 'charitable company,) and its subsidiary (the group) for the 18-Month Period Ended 31 March 2025 which coinprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and noles to the financial staiements, including a sumniary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework Ihai has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdoin Accoumtillg Slatldards (United Kingdorn Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fail. view of the stal¢ of the group's and charitable coinpany's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the group's incotning resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the period then ended-, have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdoin 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 Int¢rnational Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors, respon5Lbilities for the audit of the financial stateinents section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirernenis that are relevant to our audit of the financial slaleinents in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe thai the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to golng concern In auditii)g the financi41 stalemenls, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the finan¢ial stalement5 is appropriate. Based on Ihe work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that. individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl on the charitable company's ability to Continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months froin when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibililies 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 romprises the inforniation included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the ITJdependent Auditors Ihereon. 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 financilll statements, our responsibility is to read ihe other information and. in doing 50, consider whether the other inforiiilltion is materially inconsistent willi the financial slateinents or our knowledge obiain¢d in the audit or otherwise appears to be Inaterially Inisstated. If we idenlify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstateinents, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in IhL financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have p¢rfonned, we conclude thai there is a material misstateinent of this other inforination, we are required to report that fact, We have nothing to report in ihis regard. Opinions on other m&¢ter$ preseribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. Ihe informalion given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent wilh the financial statements. and Ihe Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements,

Re ort of the Inde endent Auditors to the Members of ect Ltd. Matters on wliich we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and it5 environment obtsined in the course of the audit, we have noi identified materffial misstatements in the Report of the Trustee5. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to repoit to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting recordg have noi 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 rxrtain disclosures of trustees, reinuneration specified by law are not inade. or we have not r¢ceived all the infom)ation and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibillties of trustees As explained more fully in the Stateinent of Truslees, Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the hariiable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of ihe f￿anCIal 5tatemLnts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees det¢rniine is nccessary to enable the preparation of financial statemenls that are free froin inaterial misstatement, whether due lo fraud or error, In preparing rhe financial stat¢rnents, the trustees are responsible for assessing Ihe charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unles5 the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responslbllltles for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives ar¢ to obiain r¢asonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free froin material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, at)d to issue a Report of the Indcpcndent Auditors that includes our opinion. Rea5()nable 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 malerial misslalemenl when it exists. Misstal¢meiits can arise froiii fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the econoinic decision5 of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud 18 detailed below: As part of designing our audit, we detei'mined materiality and assessed the risks of material Inisstatenient in the rinancial statenients, including how fraud Inay occur by enquiring of manageinent of its own considcratioii of fraud. In particular, we looked where niiilldgcm¢iit niade subjective judgements, for ¢xainple in respeLI of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events Ihal are inherently uncertain. We also considered potential financial or other pressures, opportunity and inotivations for fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or noncoiiipliance with laws and regulations and how managem¢nt monitoi. these processes. Appropriate procedures included tlie review and testing of journals and key estimates and judgemeilts made by management. We gained an understanding of the legal regulatory framework applicable lo the con)pany and the indiistry in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the company that were in breach of these laws and regulation5, including fraud. We Inade enquiries of rnanagement with regards to compliance with the above laws and regulations to ensure thal there were no breaches. As part of our audit we perfomied s&niple testing, agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting docum¢ntation and enquiries with management. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregulariti¢s, including fraud. We addressed the risk of managem¢nt override of intemal controls including testing journals and evaluation whether there was evid¢nc¢ of bias by ihe directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of rnaterial niisstateinenl in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a malerial mi55tatemenl due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting froni error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment. A further description of our responsibilities for Ihc audit of the financial stateinents is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independ¢nl ALiditors.
