Financial review
a. Going concern
Following a decision by the Trustees during the year to permanently cease trading due to increasing respite care costs adversely impacting the financial viability of the Charitable Company, the going concern basis of accounting is not appropriate in the preparation of these financial statements.
b. Reserves policy
The Charitable Company's reserves are either classified as General Unrestricted Funds or Restricted Funds. Restricted funds comprise grants receivable for specific purposes that can only be used for those specific purposes. General Unrestricted Funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the Charitable Company's objectives. The Trustees monitor carefully the funds required to maintain the ongoing operations of the Charitable Company. As at the year end the company’s free reserves were £467,226 (2024 - £672,373).
c. Review of financial position
The financial statements show income of £43,795 (2024 - £580,242) against total expenditure of £262,942 (2024 - £521,869) resulting in an operating deficit of £219,147 (2024 - surplus of £58,373). The deficit is primarily due to redundancy and other closure costs.
Funds held as custodian
There are no funds held as custodian trustee on behalf of others,
Members’ liability
The Members of the Charitable Company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the Charitable Company in the event of winding up. All of the Trustees are members of the Charitable Company and none of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the Charitable Company.

Statement of Trustee's responsibilities
The Trustee (who is also the director of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law) is responsible for preparing the Trustee's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Under company law, the Trustee must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charitable Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to:
-
« select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
° make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
e state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
° prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charitable Company will continue in business.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charitable Companu’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial pasition of the Charitable Company 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 Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditor
The Trustee has confirmed that:
-
° so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditor is unaware, and
-
e that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditor is aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Ltd

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Ltd (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, 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:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 37 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
e 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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
Emphasis of matter - financial statements prepared on a basis other than going concern
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements which indicates that, due to increasing respite care costs, Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Limited ceased trading in the reporting period. As stated in note 2.2, these conditions indicate that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is not appropriate. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 Trustee are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
° the information given in the Trustee's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.
-
° the Trustee's report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee’s report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° adequate accounting records have not 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 ° certain disclosures of Trustee’s remuneration specified by law are not made; or ° we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or ° the Trustee were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustee’s report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustee’s responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 materia! misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the 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 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
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.
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:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
. the senior statutory auditor ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
. we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial! knowledge and experience of the charity sector:
-
. we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements ar the operations of the charitable company, including the financial reporting legislation, Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2022, taxation legislation, anti-bribery, employment, and environmental and health and safety legislation:
-
. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
. identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Ltd (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company’s 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; and
-
. considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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 the accounting estimates as set out in Note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and
-
. investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
. agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
. reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
. enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and . reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charitable company’s legal advisors.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2025 S e S
1. General information
Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Limited is a charitable company incorporated under the Companies Act in England and Wales and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the Company information section of these financial staternents. The nature of the Charitable Company's operations and its principal activities are to provide a range of care and support services to children, young people, adults and family carers across Birmingham.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Birmingham Multi-Care Support Services Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
Following a decision by the Trustees in the year to permanently cease all activities due to increasing respite care costs adversely impacting the financial viability of the Charitable Company, the going concern basis of accounting is not appropriate in the preparation of these financial statements. For this reason, a basis other than going concern has been adopted. Under this basis, assets have been valued at their recoverable amount based on conditions existing at the balance sheet date. Where applicable, contractual commitments have been provided for where they have become onerous as a consequence of the decision to cease trading.
2.5 Income
All income is recognised once the Charitable Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the Charity earns the right to consideration due by its satisfaction of performance obligations.
Income received through contracts is recognised from the point in which the Charitable Company has entitlement to the funds, contract conditions have been fully met or it is probable that the income will be received.

- Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charitable Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Government grants
Government grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
2.6 Taxation
The Charitable Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charitable Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

_——eeoOo
- Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Freehold properties are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date.
Fair values are determined from market-based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a Charitable Company may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach.
Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Statement of financial activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note, within restricted funds.
At each reporting date the Charitable Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

- 2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
2.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charitable Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

- Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
In the application of the charitable company’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.
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The charitable company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.
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.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
Depreciation - Useful economic life and residual vatue
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In reassessing the useful economic lives of assets, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values, and plans to dispose of an asset before the previously expected date.
