## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)**
## **Year ended 31 March 2026**
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2026.
## **Chair's report**
Although we have had some periods of uncertainty over the past 12 months, this has been another busy year for Respite Fife.
In last year's annual report, we highlighted the fact that Fife Council Social Work had taken the decision to realign all the respite budgets to run alongside the financial year. This was welcome news and we were hopeful that this would make planning our bookings much easier and relieve some of the pressure on our families going forward. However, like all changes to existing systems, there has been several hiccups along the way, with some families facing lengthy delays in having their respite budgets reassessed. In consequence, we found that some months we were running with empty beds, although we knew there were families who were desperate for a break, but unable to book respite until their budgets were approved.
We also advised, in last year's report, that we were in conversation with Fife Council regarding some upgrades needing done to the respite properties. As a result of this, both respite houses now have new roofs and one of the houses has been completely reharled and painted. Several other upgrades have now been completed including a new kitchen, rewiring and some windows replaced. There was considerable upheaval while this was being done and our thanks must go to our staff, families and service users for their patience and understanding during this time.
Finally, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the staff team for their loyalty and commitment to Respite Fife and for their continued support and dedication.

## **Structure, governance and management**
The Charity was originally formed in 1985, and opened its first respite house in 1987. On 1 April 2007, the organisation incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which set the objects and powers of the charity and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

## **Objectives and activities**
The charity was established in 1985 to promote and provide services for people with learning disabilities living in the community and to give help and support to their relatives and carers. It aims to provide support to enable people to achieve maximum independence and control over their lives.
The purpose of the charity are: -
1. To give users extended and sustained experience of befriending by providing short breaks/ respite care for adults with mild to moderate learning disabilities.
2. To help users to develop a knowledge of local faculties, to promote their integration in the community and, very importantly, to develop independent skills.
3. To increase the network of services available and, importantly, to further the development of the concept of maximising choice.
4. To give support to families and carers.
5. To provide care in ordinary domestic housing.

## **Achievements and performance**
## **SERVICE PROVISION**
Over this year, we have provided a respite service to 69 families, this was a total of 1,176 overnights, 49 of which were self-funded. This is a slight decrease since last year and reflects the fact that several families were unable to book respite dates due to a delay in getting their annual reviews carried out by Social Work.
We also provided a small Care at Home service to 2 families, one of which is only provided during the winter months, as the family is away most of the summer.
## **STAFF DEVELOPMENT**
Each year, the direct care team complete online refresher training in 5 core skills namely, Health and Safety, Safeguarding, Moving and Handling, Fire Awareness and Infection Prevention and Control. Last year we added Trauma Informed Practice to this list and, this year, Child Protection has been included as part of our mandatory Safeguarding training.
However, the team are always looking to source other training which would be an interesting and important learning source in their role as carers. This year we added Person Centred Planning and Care Plans and Risk Assessments to the online training programme.
The senior team has also been busy updating their skills and knowledge covering several topics including Digital Innovation in Care, The Scottish Approach to Change, and Adults with Incapacity. Heather and Lorraine also attended a conference on Adult Social Care Reform while Gwyneth undertook several courses on the changes to Employment Law and the recent changes to the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Regulations.
We were also fortunate in being able to access modern apprenticeship funding to allow the final 3 of our relief team to undertake their SVQ 3 in Health and Social Care which they hope to complete within 12 to 18 months.
## **CARE INSPECTORATE**
Although there has not been a formal inspection of our service this year, we are in regular contact with our care inspector, Sharon Mitchell-Ward, through the submission of our Annual Returns and the Care Home Census. We also continue to regularly update the self assessment of our respite service under the Quality Framework for Adult Care Homes and make changes to our improvement plan, as each target is reached. We fully expect a formal inspection of our service to take place later this year.

## **MONITORING AND EVALUATION**
In September we held a full consultation as part of our quality assurance process involving parents, carers, service users and staff. Questionnaires were sent to 64 families with 33 being returned. We are delighted to report that over 90% scored the quality of our service, our support to families and our communication with carers, as excellent.
Over a period of 6 weeks, during August and September, service users were encouraged to take part in group discussions while they were in respite and to provide us with feedback. Staff assisted in this process using talking mats with those who required some assistance. Service users said that they enjoyed their respite breaks, liked meeting new people, looked forward to going out to different places, and that the staff team looked after them well.
Going forward, it is our intention to hold this type of consultation every 2 years to ensure that we continue to maintain the high level of care and service that the families have told us we currently provide.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
In today's world of spiralling running costs, we must look at ways where we can make savings without this impacting on the service we provide. We are already intending to increase efficiency by upgrading our accounting systems and to source an alternative firm of accountants.
We will continue to look at new ways to increase our service provision and to support our families in their quest to have their respite budgets increased.
## **Financial review**

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Respite Fife**
## **Year ended 31 March 2026**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Respite Fife ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2026.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 (‘the 2005 Act’), the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). You are satisfied that the accounts of the company are not required by charity or company law to be audited and have chosen instead to have an independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 44(1)(c) of the 2005 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed the requirements of Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charity is required by company law to prepare its accounts on an accruals basis and is registered as a charity in Scotland your examiner must be a member of a body listed in Regulation 11(2) of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAS which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act, section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records or with the accounting requirements of Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006; or
3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Respite Fife** _**(continued)**_

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **1. General information**
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Scotland and a registered charity in Scotland. The address of the registered office is Respite Fife, 34 Hazel Avenue, Kirkcaldy, KY2 5EB, Fife.
## **2. Statement of compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Disclosure exemptions**
The charity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in SORP FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under Update Bulletin 1:
No cash flow statement has been presented for the charity.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 March 2026**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

## **Year ended 31 March 2026**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

## **Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year ended 31 March 2026**
## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
## **Impairment of fixed assets**
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
## **Financial instruments**
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at carrying value plus accrued interest less repayments. The financing charge to expenditure is at a constant rate calculated using the effective interest method.
## **Defined contribution plans**
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
## **4. Limited by guarantee**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee without share capital. The members of the company are the Directors as detailed on page 1 of the financial statements. Each member of the charity has undertaken to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards any deficit arising in the event of the charity being placed in liquidation.
