Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

Strategic report
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
Mayfield Court is a purpose-built building that was opened in 1983 is based in Knotty Ash in Liverpool. The home is registered with the Care Quality Commission under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as a care home to provide accommodation and personal care for 35 residents.

Mayfield Fellowship provides care and support in a safe and secure environment that empowers residents to live their life as independently as they are able irrespective of their disability. The client group who access services have complex physical disabilities which may include clients with learning disabilities and mental health needs following an injury at birth (Cerebral Palsy), acquired brain injury through trauma or neurological disorders. Mayfield Fellowship is registered to provide services with Liverpool, Sefton, and Knowsley.

Mayfield Court is an approved provider for Liverpool Social Services providing placements for clients who require specialist residential care. The home continues to maintain full occupancy. Referral for placements at the service continues to be via Liverpool Social Service portal system.

During this reporting period we continue to maintain to monitor the risk of an outbreak of covid that could impact the health and wellbeing of the residents and the service we provide.

Residents
Referrals of new residents who are placed at Mayfield Court continue to be under the age of 65 and potential residents over the age of 65 continue to find it difficult to secure funding for a placement within the home.

Referrals for placement at Mayfield Court continue to be residents with significant complex needs. The senior management team undertake a comprehensive assessment of potential residents to ensure the service can meet individual needs. The level of complexity and the rigorous assessment process can lead to longer than normal periods of voids.

Over this reporting period we have continued to have regular resident's meetings and residents have continued to enjoy activities within the home and the wider community. The use of resident's families What's App group and other social platforms continue to be a very useful communication tool.

Although we are living with COVID 19 there remains a risk of a COVID 19 outbreak and in the event of an outbreak all relevant Infection Control procedures will be implemented.

A review of the roles of drivers was undertaken and the decision was made to retain drivers as they have a significant impact on staff retention and recruitment.

Sadly, this year we lost the following residents Phil Foxley, Allan Hasprey, Janet Clarke and Janet Young. Their deaths were not COVID related and all are greatly missed by staff and residents.

Strategic report
Achievement and performance
Staffing
We continue to have a stable staff group, and this has once again enabled us to continue to provide the highest levels of care and support to meet our resident's needs.

During this reporting period the legislation body CQC who monitor the registration of care services at Mayfield Court are going through a restructuring of how they inspect services registered with them. We continue to monitor and review all changes that will impact the service and monitor and review how the service adapts to ensure care and service delivery meet regulatory requirements. We receive monthly reports from CQC stating that they have undertaken external audits of our service and at present there are no concerns and these audits do not affect the home's rating. The Chief Executive and Senior Management Team completed their PIR to CQC (Provider Information Return) which is a legal requirement, in January 2024. This reporting period we have not received a request from CQC to complete a PIR return, but continue to receive monthly reports,

Recruitment and selection of care staff has always been a challenge, even as we live with COVID 19, the challenges remain at a level never seen before within Social Care and we expect this to continue.

Fundraising
Following the Covid 19 pandemic fundraising activities continue to be restricted with the only funds raised during this reporting period being from resident's bingo and a race night.

Financial review
Financial position
The Fellowship has a policy document titled 'Internal Financial Controls' which is based on Charity Commission recommendations. The document sets out the basic internal controls required.

The Finance Director continues to work with the Senior Management Team in monitoring and reviewing all financial systems. Financial information is reported to the Board at their regular meetings.

The total incoming resources for the year were £2,489,063 (2023 £2,104,785). The total resources expended were £2,302,672 (2023 £2,164,793) resulting in a surplus of £186,391 (2023 deficit £60,008). The Trustees are satisfied that the Fellowship has adequate resources to maintain and develop its activities.

Principal funding sources
The main source of income is unrestricted income from various local authorities, residents and the Department for Work and Pensions for the provision of residential care.The main expenditure is the provison of this service.

Reserves policy
Reserves are retained in order to meet moral, statutory and other commitments arising from the withdrawal or reduction of funding. The Trustees consider that this should be at least six months running costs. As at 31 March 2024 the Charity held reserves of £1,178,024 (2023 £991,633).

Reserves are also retained to finance future plans in line with the Fellowship's aims. Monies on deposit are reviewed regularly to ensure that the best possible interest rate can be achieved. The Trustees consider that this level of free reserves is sufficient, and in line with the amount determined by the policy.

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;

L M Lee - Trustee

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Mayfield Fellowship

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mayfield Fellowship (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-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 Auditors' 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 UK, including the FRC'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.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditors thereon.

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 financial statements, 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 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Mayfield Fellowship


Opinions 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 Report of the trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the 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 Report of the trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the 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 trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities, 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 material 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Mayfield Fellowship


Our 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 a Report of the independent auditors 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 were as follows:
-the engagement partner 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 company through discussions with the trustees and other management and review of appropriate industry knowledge;
-we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management; 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.

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 as a risk assessment tool to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and undertook substantive testing on a sample basis;
-reviewed the application of accounting policies with focus on those with heightened estimation uncertainty.

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; and
-enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of nondetection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.


Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Mayfield Fellowship

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

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. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 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.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Management have used their expectation of the estimated useful lives of each category of assets in order to ensure the appropriate provision is made for depreciation. Details are noted in the accounting policies and the depreciation provision is stated in note 12.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Fees for residential care represent the total amount of unrestricted monies received form local authorities, service users and the Department for Work and Pensions. Fees received that relate to a future period are deferred and released to the Statement of Financial Activities in the that future period.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by the volunteers has not been included in these financial statements.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1. Accounting policies - continued

Expenditure
Expenditure on raising funds comprises the costs associated with attracting donations and costs of any trading or similar activities for fundraising purposes.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of it's activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support then, including governance costs.

Governance costs are those costs incurred in connection with the administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Allocation and apportionment of costs
Resources expended are allocated between the expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis such as floor space and time spent.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Short leasehold improvements - 20% on cost
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities and is not registered for VAT purposes. Any VAT paid is treated as part of the relevant expenditure incurred.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Going concern
The trustees have assessed the charitable company's financial position and are confident that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Government grants
Government grants are accounted for on a receivable basis.

Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities, which include creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
